@mikek206 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Gosh, that would be a wonderful thought, stopping kidney disease progression! I certainly understand your concern about pharmaceutical companies trying to head that development off "at the pass". Here's hoping others might recall this article, as I do not.
I am currently Stage 4, at 22% function. It's a daily chore to keep that up as high as possible, controlling blood pressure and stress, plus diet.
While we wait for others to chime in, are you willing to share your kidney disease journey with us?

Hi my name is Beatrice. I was hospitalized in March for respiratory distress. When I was in the hospital, a full blood work was done and it was found out that my creatinine level was very high and I was told that I would be on dialysis to regularize it. Since April I have been on dialysis, First I started with 2 sessions a week and progressed to 3 sessions a week which I am actually on now. But I realized that the level keep fluctuating. I m in a French country and I dont know whether I need to convert the figures to get the equivalent to that of the3 US. If not when I did a test in November the level was 45 but when I repeated the test on 22 December it has gone up to 70 which is the reason why I want to what type of food to eat to lower creatinine levels, At the present moment I am on Stage 5 though I had stopped urinating but I have started urinating although not yet as much as I used to. Will be grateful for any ideas. Thank you.
