Thank you, I think I am still probably I'm the "shocked" phase, and I think you are probably right in that I don't drink enough. I don't drink any fizzy pop, I do have some sparkling mineral water and tap water, not too much coffee and I do love tea.
I am going to make a point of measuring my fluid intake to be sure I get enough.

@tiglet my eGFR based on creatinine fluctuates but the GFR from Cystatin C is steadier and higher.

Hi,
I paniced when I was told I had CKD and 5 years to live. I settled all debits finished all the projects around the house and updated my will. Walked away from my business and waited, it never came knocking.
Now plus 7 years in credit and don't really give CKD another thought. I try to have 6 cups of tea a day, but not always possible with Dysautonomia controlling my digestion and other functions. I'm over worrying about my health issues, one of the five will get me sooner or later or maybe time might just run out for me. Who knows, I just get on with life the best I can while I can.
I try to keep myself busy and not dwel on my health too much, just be mindful it is a factor in my continued existance and don't do anything stupid to damage it too much.
Cheers
