I'm curious as to why your nephrologist pushes salt and protein. What's her reasoning since, like you say, it goes against conventional recommendations? I currently try to limit both.

@my44 the salt is for low blood pressure, which could slow filtration in the kidneys. The protein I believe is for muscles, since muscle loss can affect eGFR. But I am going to ask to make certain.
