Am I wrong to be concerned about my Stage 3a CKD?

It’s not that they don’t worry, it that our organs (like everything else 👎) show signs of wear with age. That is why the number expectations or parameters change, depending on age. The other thing they consider is how quickly your numbers are changing. For instance if it took 5 years to get where you are, the progression may be slow, therefore not as concerning as a rapid change.
It’s awful that you don’t feel cared about. I’m really sorry!

My doctor has ordered an ultrasound of my kidneys. But I still don’t understand why she wouldn’t give me any advice on some dietary changes that might help. She knows that I am stressing about my numbers. I guess I’m expecting too much. I may still ask for a nephrology referral.
