Hi @fiesty76. We are all here at the Mayo Clinic discussion to help give you information from our experiences. I am a firm believer in questioning physicians. They can make better decisions for treatments with more accurate information.
Dialysis for medications takes place in either the kidneys or liver. The physician got you off certain medications to avoid dialysis in the kidneys in attempt to lessen the work load of the kidneys. Can you drink more water to flush out the kidneys? I don’t know if you have a water restriction with your diet? My 90 year old mother was diagnosed with renal disease stage 3. After many months of drinking 8 glasses of water daily, her diagnosis was no longer. She also had prediabetes but unfortunately later developed diabetes and was given an oral medication. She followed my instructions to control her diabetes through diet and exercise. With the results of her hemoglobin A1C, her physician discontinued the oral medication for diabetes. She continues to lose weight which also lowers her hypertension diagnosis. Through diet and exercises she is able to manage her cholesterol without any medication. Following a diet and exercise regiment is difficult but the benefits can be numerous. I like trying to solve medical issues with foods first, If possible, rather than medications because I don’t like dealing with the adverse affects.
