My labs just came back with CKD of 45. I am 76 years old and no real serious problems or meds. I have been hovering around 48 or 49. I have osteoporosis and had a Reclast infusion that laid me out for 6 months and only gained 1/2 pt on osteoporosis so no more meds for that. My doctor just prescribed meds for CKD. I do not do well with any meds! Can't take anti-inflammatories etc. Is there anything natural I can do to raise my CKD number? I am refusing meds. Looked at the side effects of the med she prescribed and decided against it. Thanks for any ino.

@lizzabeth I am curious what medications your doctor prescribed for you for CKD?
Eating healthy, getting moderate exercise, avoiding an overabundance of potassium/calcium/phosphorous foods will help you. and remember, we look at trends, not necessarily single test results, as we track our kidney function. Proper hydration is also a crucial factor.
