Told I had kidney disease at stage 3

My experience is that I was not told which stage I was in - had to look at the lab results. My experience is that my blood work bounces around so just went from 3B to 4a and back again. I am 86 and a bit underweight because of dietary restrictions. Annoy my doctor by refusing dialysis. Unfortunately kidneys do wear out. I am afraid I am a bit pragmatic. Medicines keep us alive but also cause damage to other organs. Considering medical changes I have lived far longer than I expected when younger.

@ailsas hello hope you’re doing well, I am 41 yeas op and I was never told I had kidney failure till I had stage 3 and now unfortunately I’m at stage for 4 kidney failure. The diagnosis was a huge surprise to me and my family I was so devastated and I am always depressed thinking about it getting worse and I’m so joung thanks to my doctor for not letting me know on time when it was at stage 1 or 2 at least I would of handle things differently but hey these doctors only work to get paid not for caring actually for there patients. But I hope you are having a good day my blessings to you .
