Chronic kidney disease (CKD) support: Introduce yourself and connect
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (71)Comment receiving replies
My first time. I have chronic kidney disease. Stage 3-4.
I have had lung cancer about 4 years ago and colon cancer a couple of months ago. I also have RA for the past 20+ years. It has taken a toll kidneys.
It might be time to see a kidney doctor??? Thanks for any input!

@pswope2091 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Having been through lung and colon cancers, the associated treatments, and no doubt several types of medications, it can certainly take a toll on your body. And your kidneys are usually in charge of clearing medications out of your system.
In my non-medical professional opinion, yes, please get connected with a nephrologist to see where you are at in your kidney function. You might want to ask your primary care dr to run labs and get a baseline for right now, then a referral if the numbers indicate. Would you consider doing that? How are you feeling today?
