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

He did not prescribe any medications. He cut my existing medication of Hydrochlorothiazide down from 25 mg to 12.5 mg. He sent me to a dietician and I have made definite changes in my diet. Basically, I am leaning towards a vegan diet now--not completely but meat has been sharply cut; eggs, cheese, and fish in limited amounts; and my overall consumption of protein is much lower. I also try to be careful with the amount of sodium I take in. If I have more problems in the future, I am assuming he would consider meds at that point.

Dilon't forget.
It's not only what we eat, but how much we eat.
Portion control is important..

There really aren’t any meds for CKD or to lower eGFR.
Just drink lots of water ( and that means water, not any liquid) low potassium, low phosphates (nothing from a deli) and no brown drinks except for coffee.
Good luck!
