I’m at such a loss with the subject of CKD and getting help for it. I don’t understand why I keep making stones, I follow a CKD diet yet I just had my 4th surgery for stone removal this week on left kidney. Ultrasound shows new stones in right kidney too large to pass, and I just had stone removal surgery on right kidney in December. What are others doing to keep from constant stone making?
And in regards to the epidemic, I was just diagnosed with CKD stage 3a. Any ideas welcomed. Thank you.
I strongly agree with your assessment of the medical team. They are under a lot of pressure to keep up with medical trends. I don’t have a treatment team so I am my own advocate between my doctors, dentist and pharmacist. My nephrologist never discuss diet changes with me and my one visit with a dietitian admitted that she knew very little about CKD. Thankful my insurance now pay for telemedicine visits so I can request more frequent lab work. Thankful that diet and other health issues specific for CKD are shared with this group. I have learned that self education is the key to my best medical outcome. Thank you for your support.
