Thanks for the info! I drink a lot of water. I’m thirsty all the time but then up several ones a night in the bathroom! I would like to have a different lab do my bloodwork it seems they have different parameters.

Actually, I agree with the idea to have a different lab do your bloodwork so you can compare the detailed numbers. Labs do have different parameters.
I only drank one huge cup of coffee per day, but i did find that black tea with cinnamon stick wakes me up and i drink only @ half a cup. I know it has caffeine but I am thinking in much less quantity than how i drink coffee.
I too drink lots of water with fresh lemon in it.
I am going to ask my doctor for testing every 6 weeks as someone here said their doctor did. I have had 4 blood tests over last year and the eGFR is erratic- I am still in state 3a CKD though.
I am 75 and last year was the first time this issue has come up for me, so i do plan to learn as much as I can about my body and hopefully keep CKD in stage 3.
I am not diabetic and only take small amount of BP drugs, but i am in obese category.
We all need to face our health problems and do as much as we can to learn how to keep ourselves healthy as possible.
