@ayu50, Happy New Year and Welcome to Mayo Connect. Beatrice, I wish that I knew more about kidney disease to share with you. I actually have a liver and kidney transplant, but because my kidney failed suddenly I was given emergency dialysis and only remember doing/eating only what I was instructed to do.

I want to share this information from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services about Chronic Kidney Disease. There you will find this list of topics that look like they cover some of the concerns that you have mentioned.
-The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases:
What Is Chronic Kidney Disease?
Causes of CKD
Tests & Diagnosis
Managing CKD
Eating Right
Preventing CKD
What If My Kidneys Fail?
Clinical Trials

Beatrice, Who is monitoring your care during dialysis? What are they telling you about your CKD?

A Happy New Year to you too and thanks for the information. I will check it later. I am seeing a nephrologist who also gave me a special diet I should be on.. He is the one monitoring my dialysis. Actually the thing is that I never experienced the symptoms of the CKD. My feet were not swollen, I did not have any nausea, loss of appetite in fact no symptoms to show that I had CKD it is only when I did my bloodwork that they saw that the creatinine level was very high. I also suffer from high blood pressure, which is suspected of being the reason of the CKD. hemoglobin was very ,low and apparently was due to the fact that the kidney was not receiving enough blood.at least that is what I was told. I was urinating all right and using the bathroom and it was only about two months ago that I stopped urinating but since about a week ago I have started having the urge to urinate and it has started coming again in trickles. So far the creatinine has gone down considerably and the reason why I asked if anyone knew a diet is because last month on the 6th of November when I did the test the creatinine level was 45. But when I did the test again on the 22 December it was up to 70. I really don't know what I did wrong for it to rise again. So I would like to know what type of food I should eat to lower the creatinine level than raise it up. That is my concern now, Thanks once again,
