I have an appointment with my regular doctor at the end of January to get retested. I will go from there.
You dont say whether you have blood pressure or diabetes or what treatment you are on.
The medical literature reflects the discrepancy between the PA and my doctojr's interpretation. It is controversial, and I guess it doesn'treally matter if one has ckd or not if things are not working properly.
I don't know what treatment there is since i do not have bp or diabetes issues and i am not overweight.

@mimi1234 I have diabetes and a history of hypertension (the top 2 things that lead to kidney problems). I’m on meds, insulin and have high tech gear for all of this. I also have a statin prescribed for cholesterol. Everything is well controlled and pretty stable right now, thank God! I hope to keep it that way.
