@teachaero Blood pressure issues and diabetes seem to be the 2 major causes for kidney diseases as far as non-hereditary. My kidney disorder is a very rare autoimmune disease. I think as far as diet, if you make subtle changes not a dramatic change that your body acclimates better. That's just my been my own personal experience. And you will find what works for you. Personally I cannot go vegan I have to have my chicken, turkey and fish. But I rarely eat red meat. Watch banana, tomato, potato consumption. Use salt-free seasonings. You can keep a decline at bay; I have. Since retiring 4 yrs ago due to medical issues, my GFR has only decreased 6 points. Keeping yourself as stress free as possible also helps.

@gingerw I do not have kidney problems but this is good info. Immunosuppressants can cause problems so I know I am at risk. MGH keeps a close watch on me to make sure my kidneys (and everything else) is doing well. I actually heard of one transplant center that told their liver transplant patients that there was a high risk that they would eventually require a kidney transplant!
I also am diabetic, and my BP is borderline.
I too could not go vegan. We eat fish twice a week, and chicken or lean ground turkey many nights. I generally will do beef one time a week.
Stress really is bad for your health. My stress generally comes in spurts in response to specific situations.
