Stage 3: Looking to promote kidney health

Hi,
Such things as ethnicity, age and natural kidney decline all tax the kidneys out of our control. Then medical conditions and medications can cause decline as well, not to mention what you have been doing and eating prior to drawing blood. The reality is all you can do is try your best. My theory is do what I can and be satisfied I'm trying. Just recovered from GFR39 back up to GFR45, all due to metformin for my diabetes. That can be crossed of the acceptable list once again.
Cheers.

Thank you for your encouraging reply:) I will also continue my healthy eating habits and keeping the faith that I am doing all I can. My lab did show that I am not spilling protein like before. Bubbly urine and that ammonia taste are a thing of the past, so that counts too! Just wish I wasn’t so heck-bent on that egfr and creatinine that rules my entire world. I am getting older (58) and have learned that kidneys also naturally age:/. Thank you, kindly!
