I seem to have a primary doctor who I’m not sure is consistent. Tells me a few years ago I have fatty liver and CKD stage 3? Of course I freaked out ( he mostly diagnoses by the lab tests results). Tell me change my diet (see a nutritionist - but I can’t afford that & my insurance doesn’t cover that). He says do not take Tylenol or aspirin etc. I have serious osteoarthritis pain and nothing is prescribed for that. So I am trying to change my diet ( how many vegetables can I eat 😂 but I have always eaten them). MD says cut back on salt: I never salt my foods and rarely eat salty snacks. So I run into my Mom’s 90+year old cousin a few years ago, he says he has had CKD for years. I quit listening to my doctor because they don’t know everything

The Tylenol comment by him is because of a fatty liver. The aspirin is about your kidneys, and it's all NSAIDs, not just aspirin. I was told, long ago, that it's alcohol AND Tylenol that are a danger (together) for livers. So, if you have major pain, I'd get a second opinion on that before cutting the Tylenol. I mean since you watch what you eat already. Too many doctor just assume a fatty liver means a lot of alcohol.
