@tapdancer If I may ask, are you on dialysis?

I have been reading that once one hits 15, that the doctor recommends dialysis?

Thank you.

@sultanvr i’m not on dialysis yet. I’ve been at stage five for a few years, but my nephrologist at the Mayo Clinic is keeping a close eye on me. I have labs done once a month and they are always stable. Because I eat right and drink 5 to 6 bottles of water a day and exercise quite a bit -I play sports, I stay stable and there’s no need for dialysis yet. I’m 69 years old and play pickleball, rollerblade, ballroom dance, tap dance, Line dance and hike. I’ve been at GFR 13 or 14 for several years. It hasn’t gotten better but it hasn’t gotten worse.
