@sherrycarroll14 As you are finding out, renal dietician seem to be few and far between. Diet tips from American Kidney Fund and Davita can go a long way to helping you find beneficial foods for you. Low potassium diet always meant, to me, no potatoes, bananas, oranges/orange juice, things I used to love. Now that I am on a high dose of furosemide each day, I need to take a potassium supplement.

CKD can have a underlying cause of long-term use of certain medications, other health issues contributing to lower function, or genetic factors. And, as we age it is natural for our kidney function to decline somewhat.

What was your eGFR last time you had it checked? I, too, look forward to hearing your current eGFR!

Hi Ginger, thanks for your comments. If my memory is correct, my last GFR was 54. Not too bad but I want to make it better. I do go on Davita and other sites to get information and recipe ideas.
