Susanna,
Although some on this site may have difficulty with progress that is not scientifically proven by Western standards, I believe one can incorporate both modalities. I would recommend following a kidney friendly diet, one with low Potassium (if your Potassium is high). And if you have a nephrologist who is not partnering with you, I would get another doctor. Depending on where you live and what practitioners are available, you might look into an acupuncturist who has treated kidney disease. That’s what I did and changed my numbers after 3 years of declining a GFR. So I encourage you to be proactive.
