Stage 3 Kidney Disease and Diet: What can I eat?

@jenc70 I spent a year seeing an acupuncturist weekly. This was before I learned about Cystatin C, the best lab measurement for CKD. My creatinine level eGFR would go up and I felt good about that. The acupuncturist who actually had a PhD from a well known US medical school suggested herbs with my treatment for my CKD. I would be remissed if I gave you the name because my nephrologist and dietitian said no to Chinese herbs. If you are still serious about herbs against medical advice, then just call a well qualified accupuncturist. It may be a dice game though with Stage 3 eGFR Cystatin C. I listed to my doc's advice and never tried it with no regrets today. Incidentally, the accupuncturist told me she also had some cures as well, however, it was acute CKD and not chronic which is a different ballga.e all together.

Hi, Thank you for the info. I started out with Acute kidney disease 7 months ago with a GFR 0f 5. Was most likely due to an illness I had for 2 months, fever, loss of appetite and nausea. (Later determined that was due to a blood clot in my lower leg). Once I was given Heparin intraveneously for 9 days in the hospital, my kidney stats started rising. It's taken 7 months to rise from GFR of 5 to 64 just this week. All of my other stats on the BMP blood panel are finally in the normal range this week as well. (I'm very grateful!) I guess I am now considered in the Chronic kidney disease stage. After reading Lee Hull's books, stopping kidney disease, I've decided not to try the Chinese Herbs. His books are very informative. I'll work on my diet (limiting meat) and try to follow his recipes and food recommendations to see if I can improve my kidneys even more. Thank you again for your reply.
