@tigreyes2004 - Nephropathy is a disease of the kidneys caused by damage to the small blood vessels or to the units in the kidneys that clean the blood. Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves), often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in your hands and feet. It can also affect other areas of your body. More information here:

Thank you John. That was very helpful. I also have Stage 3 Kidney disease which is caused bc with my stomach problems, it burns when I drink liquids so I try to avoid them but it causes my GFR to be low so now I force myself to drink & not alcohol either. I don't drink at all.
