@eelatt01 Welcome, Ed!

If you haven't already, please take a look at the discussion threads that talk about kidney diets. That is a very powerful thing we have in our arsenal to help us. The big things are watching our sodium, sugar, calcium, phosphorous, potassium intakes. No NSAIDs like aspirin or alleve. Tylenol okay. Modify your red meat intake. Moderate exercise and good sleep.

Often we can point to a few things that might have contributed to declining kidney function. The top culprits are diabetes and high blood pressure. Others include medication side effects, genetics, or lifestyle. Has your medical team been able to talk to you about the cause of the decline?
