This thread has been informative for me. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 CKD one year ago, due to severe oxylate damage. I immediately dropped the high oxylate diet I was unknowingly on and the oxylate level is now normal. Unfortunately l, the damage had been done. My GFR has hovered around 22 for the past year and Creatinine around 3.00. Two weeks ago I completelt cut out dairy. This week, my labs showed the highest GFR at 27 since being diagnosed and Creatinine the lowest at 2.47. So, continuing that route in the hope I can get my GFR to 30. Any thoughts or advice would be most welcome.
