So far I am asymptomatic, other than loss of endurance and touch of fatigue due to covid. I can still do long fast walks and bike rides, just not as long as before and I make sure my hydration/electrolytes are good. Early stage 3a CKD isn't supposed to have many symptoms. Nephrologist says at this stage mostly drink 8 glasses of water or more a day. A lot of CKD is the fear of what is going to rise up and bite us next, doing everything right and still this happens. If CKD stays at this level, we are good, with 3b the restrictions with meat proteins, phosphorus, potassium, and other salts begins. I've already made changes to my diet; because I have celiac I'm already used to not eating stuff. Thankfully dark chocolate is good.
