Hello, my name is Nancy and I will be 75 in September. I have CKD3 and have had it going on 4 years. I was low in 2019 but my GP did not address it with me. I saw it on my patient summary.
I have looked into it on DaVita and this wonderful sight but only for the past year. I have cut way back on salt, watch for potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, protein, etc. My last GFR reading was 49 (up 5 points). I don't like not knowing where my numbers are now but I have to wait until August (6 months). Re your diet, I do not drink any soft drinks (phosphorous), very little milk usually only in oatmeal or an omelet, the sweets are difficult but I do try to be careful, I eat very little red meat, maybe a hamburger twice a week, I eat flounder for my fish. Salmon is quite expensive even though I love it. I do sometimes have Ritz with coffee but I am careful about the salt. Do you or anyone else know the maximum mgs daily for salt?? I'm sure I knew before but I forgot. I think I am way below this amount but I would like to know. I hope this was helpful to you. Good luck, Nancy
