Hello!--- Just got on this site. I have a busy schedule this morning so will ad info later--but I have CKD stage 4 severe--GFR---20-22. 9 to 10 yrs. ago I was found to have CKD W/reading of low 30's. My first Nephrologist thought my condition was caused by High Blood Presure Meds, which I had been taking for over 20 yrs. Basic response from Dr. was not to pay attention to my diet[ what to eat,etc.] and just drink lot's of "WATER". Also took me off of several HBP meds. I went along pretty much @ a level of GFR @ around 30 for 8 yrs or so. Then I ran out of my HBP meds while on a trip and experienced a bout of extremely HBP[ 245/120 avg. This then lowered my GFR to around 15-----I am told you cannot improve your GFR by much once Its dropped. I was prescribed a "Kidney-friendly" HBP Med [Hydralazine] and now am holding BP @ a acceptable level.----I did find online a sourse" KidneyHood.org" which really offered a different approach and stressed"DIET PLANNING". I will get back on here later, as I need to go.
