@loriel Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! You have seen two good responses from @howardrlewis and @kayabbott, so no need for me to add to their words...

Are you a chronic kidney disease patient? If so, what stage are you in now? Any questions for me?

I appreciate the replies! I’m just beginning this journey. Last week at a wellness check my GP informed me I have Stage 3 Kidney failure. Really surprised me since I wasn’t told anything during Stage 1-2. She suggested Farxiga, but I want to learn more. Don’t have diabetes but take meds for BP and it’s controlled. I’m 66 and feel quite well.
I left a message for Dr requesting a referral to a Nephrologist, but haven’t heard back yet.
Was anyone else apprehensive about starting these meds?
