Thank you so much. I appreciate any info I can get. I have alo t to learn. Karama94 has also already been very helpful. I will continue
to read everyone's posts and want to learn all I can. And when I see the Kidney Dr. And find out where I am, I will let you know. I do have
a question. Why when this is such a serious disease, don't Kidney Drs. have Renal Dieticians helping people with diets?

@jeanice Your question is a good one, and honestly I don't have a good answer. I have seen renal dieticians associated with dialysis centers, or some large medical groups, but even when I was first diagnosed, there was no dietician to turn to. I had to become my own detective, and even passed on my new-found education to the dietician at my medical group. Because kidney disease patients have specific things to watch for, it can certainly make daily meal fixing a challenge, which @kamama94 is helping us all with, with her cookbooks!

In the end, we have to be in charge of our disease, and for me, knowing that I have the sayso based on my own tests, and personalising my diet, makes me feel stronger!
