Stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD): What specialists do I see?
Kidney & Bladder | Last Active: May 19, 2022 | Replies (237)Comment receiving replies
I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease. I wondered what happened to stages 1 & 2since that was never discussed by any of my doctors in the Mayo system. I have been hospitalized a few times in the past year and always had many blood tests. Now I want to go to Rochester to see what needs to be done. I would appreciate any recommendations for nephrology. I must first heal from an upcoming reverse shoulder replacement at Rochester.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease also. Got a kidney biopsy done. They diagnosed me with fibrillary glomerulonephritis. I'm searching for clinical trials research on it but cannot find a thing. Getting scared

@basslakebabe19 Here is a link to some of the nephrologists at the Mayo Clinic Rochester campus
https://www.mayoclinic.org/appointments/find-a-doctor/search-results?searchterm=nephrology&locations=Rochester%2C%20MN
These are general nephrologists, and then there is a way to look at nephrologists who have a specific area of study. For example, my oncologist used Nelson Leung, M.D., a nephrologist with a focus on Amyloidosis, Kidney failure, and Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance [MGUS]. You can click on each name and read about the dr. I am sorry I don't know anyone other than Dr. Leung.
I am currently at stage 3b myself [GFR around 33%], and will be returning to oncologist and nephrologist on 25 Feb for quarterly appointment.
