Many docs do not diagnose it, when a healthy patient has had stable numbers over the years…. Some people’s #s are in their own okay range….also, some have a mix of good and not so great kidney #s…..the best thing anyone can do early on is check your blood tests to see which #s are needing attention (creatinine, potassium, phosphorus, albumin, protein, calcium, ratios )—and address them with some simple dietary changes. There’s a lot of info out there, including AI fake huckster videos (beware)…. Diet and exercise are something we can do for ourselves….no need to cut out too much protein if your numbers are stable… it does get a bit more complicated when it comes to balancing the needs of multiple conditions…that’s where a doctor’s interpretation is helpful…..1 last caution: many supplements are not good for the kidneys, be careful ! Read posts here and you will get good info. Meanwhile, don’t get alarmed, just educate yourself and adjust a few dietary items for now and check your #s with your doc.

@nycmusic ps docs don’t generally give meds to early stage CKD.
