@gingerw thank you Ginger! I worked with a nutritionist since 2022 when my kidneys were still functioning (stage 3a), then i got lupus (2024) and lupus found "fruitful" terrain, since then dialysis....
The learning journey goes on.....
I am thankful to have the possibility for dialysis, I live in Italy, in some places on our planet dialysis is no option....
Happy for you that you could reintroduce your loved potatoes, a good thing is to eat them once or twice a week.... an interesting lesson I learned is to balance as much as possible potassium-rich foods with the potassium-poor ones.
Ciao Ginger! Good Life!

@esseline1 Lupus nephritis is a very real complication of systemic Lupus. I was diagnosed with SLE in 1988, but they never were able to connect my kidney disease to it. Fortunately the Lupus is considered mild. Instead, my kidney disease is the result of deposits of Type III collagen into the filtering components of my kidneys. Things fluctuate all the time.
