There is a lot to that question... it depends on why you have CKD, if this is a new diagnosis or ongoing, if you have just on test or this is over time and even your age should be considered. This is the type of question I think your doctor should be consulted on. A quick call or email? I do not take supplements now (I Did before) due to some of my other issues that contribute to
CKD .
Do you have a nephrologist to consult regarding this?

I've had declining kidney function for years, am being monitored by my gp. I'm 83 and in good health. my gfr is 50. I was on calcium with D and dropped it and meat and dairy when my gfr dropped to 34. My gfr went up to 54 in one week. I read that calcium supplements are hard on the kidneys. Thats why I went off of it.
