I love to hear this! I am so happy for you!
My levels are staying the same. I am so happy for that.

Are you eating whatever you want or are you on the kidney diet?

Thank you. And I'm glad that your levels are stable. Continue to do what you can to maintain the kidney function that you still have. Like I said, I was able to maintain stage 4 for many years. Even before the transplant, I didn't have too many issues with foods. My phosphorus was never high. In fact, it was usually on the low side. My potassium, however, was on the high end of normal, and once in a while it ticked up just into the "above normal" range. So, for that, I watched what I ate. Since the transplant, though, all of my numbers are normal, including the potassium. I now eat more or less what I want, but in moderation. I try not to go overboard on those foods that I know can raise potassium and phosphorus levels. And to help my kidney to remain healthy, I do try to follow a kidney-friendly diet for the most part. But the kidney is doing its job very well. Praying that you continue to maintain your kidney function and stay healthy.
