Advertising through media by book, Internet, TV, etc. can be so daunting to someone in need, that often perspective is lost. Case in point is when I talk to proper Mayo Clinic medical personnel about Prevagen, they roll their eyes as there is no scientific evidence that memory can be improved with this supplement. In my opinion, Prevagen and Albutrix fall into the same category of those in need seeking a solution without looking at the science behind it. But if you believe that it is helping you, and see your values improve, I wish you the best of continued success. I believe the best tool is a qualified renal dietitian and getting your labs done every 6 to 12 weeks rather than seeing a nephrologist every 6 months with delayed labs. Meet with your nephrologist every 6 months or sooner, but suggest getting your labs done at least twice in 6 months. Your PCP can help with this. You are 84 years young and deserve the best care possible.
