Can somebody tell me why CKD stage 3a or 3b is no big deal?

First of all, ibuprofen is the worst medication to take for CKD. Nothing with Nsaids should be taken with kidney disease. When I was first diagnosed with kidney stones I was told to take 800mg of ibuprofen every 6 hrs. That is what helped my CKD to escalate. That was in 1997. I am now Stage 4 Severe but am told that everything is fine as long as I stay away from salt, high potassium foods and ibuprofen. My GFR2 value is stable at 29. BUN 44
Creatinine 1.80 Uric Acid 8.8. I had an excruciating gout attack waking me up from a deep sleep. It lasted 2 days. So it seems something is getting worse. But none of my doctors seem alarmed.
You also have to be careful with diuretics as this can cause potassium and uric acid to go wacky.
I also have grandparents and great-grandparents who died of kidney disease.

@tntwo99 I watch my potassium levels while on diuretics. Like you, I took Alleve type meds for many years, and stopped in 2015. My kidney disease is a rare chromosomal abnormality, but I am sure taking those NSAIDS all that time didn't help!
Watch your intake of shellfish, pork, purines and processed meats, to help your gout situation! Here is what Mayo Clinic has to say about a gout diet: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/gout-diet/art-20048524
