I was diagnosed with stage 3b CKD late last fall following a severe urinary retention issue that caused me to go into acute kidney failure. The urinary problem was resolved with HoLEP surgery, which seems to have worked very well. I have been seeing a nephrologist since January 2022 who is fairly closely following my situation--I see her or one of her staff every 3-6 months and report my blood pressure, etc. I am on several blood pressure meds or related meds, including losartan, chlorthalidone and amlopidine, and those are keeping my bp at around 118/76 which my doctor says is good. My creatinine is about 1.75, and my eGFR is about 45. These have been holding steady for 6 months or so. I eat a fair amount of red meat but in small portions, and small portions of rice, pasta and potatoes. I eat a lot of sweets but have cut way back in terms of portion and type. I drink a lot of milk. I still drink pop, but again have cut way back. I would appreciate any insight or advice as to what I can expect in terms of the progress of my CKD. I am 70 years old and in fairly good health otherwise.
