Just found out I have chronic kidney disease (CKD): I'm scared
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) | Last Active: Jun 24, 2025 | Replies (9)Comment receiving replies
Watching my sodium has been an issue. With my rapid weightless came a drop in blood pressure. Most days it's low-yesterday it was 90/51. It's been lower. At those times I have to increase my sodium.
I do have a question. I've read that CKD can be reversed. I've also read that it can't. Which of these is true.

@jaxd67 Sardines or pickles will give your blood pressure a boost, with all their salt!
As to your question about CKD being reversed. A tricky question. Seeing that CKD can be caused by diabetes, high blood pressure, medication side effects, life style, etc., by getting a handle on those you can "better" your situation. Sometimes it is a combination of factors that led to the CKD. Taking an active role in your own individual situation, will help you. I'm not going to say it will be reversed, I am saying that with hard work and knowledge on your side, you can better your kidney function, better how you feel. I hope that does not sound like I am skirting around your question!
