Confused About Diet for Stage 3 or 4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

A new problem has arisen. While I know that my osteoporosis is a serious problem, I also have to balance whatever I do with the health of my remaining kidney. My rheumatologist wishes to start me on Prolia (denosumab). I'm delighted that Blythe Danner is happy with the product, but is it right for my kidney. I've read some negative comments about Prolia under the discussion on osteoporosis, but right now, it's my kidney that I'm concerned about. So, if anyone has any comments, I'd be most interested.

@trishanna I’m diabetic, have CKD stage 3-4 and osteoporosis too. My endocrinologist put me on Prolia because it is the least problematic for kidneys. That is what my doctor said and my nephrologist agreed. My new problem is that my insurance doesn’t cover it anymore. For the past 6 years they have but next year they won’t. My next injection is due in January. I also have a diabetes medication that isn’t covered. Their suggested alternatives are not supposed to be used by people with the GFR that I have. ☹️
