I have CKD 3a-3b. Had to ask doctor for dietician. Don't understand relationship between doctors and dieticians. We should all be given basic diet by some qualified nutritionist but most of the time we're not.
Really don't understand what's happening in the medical world. One thing I've learned is that you have
to advocate for yourself and you have to do a ton of research. The important safety valve is having the correct
blood testing every twelve weeks. Both my nephrologist and cardiologist do this. Then you know how your
kidneys are functioning and what minerals and other substances are building up or leaking out of your body.
The balance is very tricky. Probably we should all keep food diaries. But who really wants to do this. However,
it is interesting to relate the food diary to kidney and heart function. All I can say as usual is good luck.

I agree with you 100% . I have CKD stage 3b and also suffer from kidney stones with only 1 functioning kidney. I am trying to research and figure out the 2 different diets I need to follow. I need a good renal dietician.
