Told I had kidney disease at stage 3
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (75)Comment receiving replies
My doctor seems reluctant to diagnose me, but I've seen this coming for a while. My latest GFR is 37 which equates to Stage 3B ? (I forget the last number/letter). I'm 81 and diabetic, but I'll have to persist .. my red blood cell count was 3.5 I think. Hopefully she'll finally diagnose me and tell me what to do!

@robbie44 I hope your doctor -is she an endocrinologist - will refer you immediately to a nephrologist. If not, see if you can self-refer to one. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney disease. Now is the time to get started on proactive methods to work with your condition!
