@seapen I would ask your general doctor for a referral to a nephrologist at this time. The worst they will do is say "no", but keep pushing for it! It's your health, your body, and you want the best for it. Time and time again we hear from members, and in my own experience too, that General Practitioners just do not have the specialized knowledge required for kidney issues.

Do you think you can do this? I know you can! Let me know what happens, Ginger

I will ask my PCP at my next appointment. I did ask her for a referral for a kidney-certified dietitian. The answer was no. I found a kidney dietitian who did not require a referral and who took my insurance.
