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!

Hi,
One day you will realise CKD isn't the death sentence we are all shocked by initially. It knocked me for a six and took 5 years to figure it out, the D is for disease. My mother-in-law lived to 95 with GFR 18 for some years, yes somewhat restricted in her abilities but none the less she made do with no help whatsoever. We just have to modify or lifestyles and be mindful of what we are doing in respect of our health. Being fixated on our health problems certainly doesn't help the situation, it messes with the brain and isn't healthy. Just be satisfied you are aware of your kidney problem, many don't get a warning, do what you can to minimise the risk and get on with your life. Enjoy every moment possible.
Cheers
