Told I had kidney disease at stage 3

@ddon Hi, I am at Stage 3a.
I have controlled high blood pressure. Thankfully, so far that is it. I am 62 years old, male.
I do have only one fully working kidney, For unknown reasons, sometime in the last 10 years, my left kidney severely atrophied and I was told to “assume I am a solitary kidney patient”. My right “good” kidney always has some stones in it.
I DO have the CKD cookbook from Lee Hull. I like it very much. Its details are super helpful.
My eGFR fluctuates. I have bloodwork next week and I pray my eGFR goes up. I am living healthy day by day. Like you, I am researching and learning. Prayers.

@faithfully123 Hi, prayers to you for a higher gfr# Did you find you had one functioning kidney through an ultrasound? I'll have an ultrasound at my appt in 2 weeks. I'm hoping and praying they can tell me the root cause and how to stop it. I am hoping no meds and only through diet, we shall see. They say we can live with one kidney. I'm looking for ward to reading/studying Lee Hull book, neat that you it too. I've been visiting my family and eating with them is so hard
I went off my diet to make it easier and accommodate but I had to stop at the Costco chicken pot pie, ugh! Fresh foods please. This is truly a journey just so glad we are here for each other, not alone. All the best in your labs!
