This is very interesting info as I am pre-prediaibtic (6.0)and CKD3 and was told everything was progressive and that my CKD3 would not get better and no need for diet etc. So I have on my own tried to adjust my life style and diet and I think your info may help a lot....thank you very much for your clear and concise info. I took screen shots and hope I can get my printer to work. Thanks to my docs that have been patient and helped. I am 84 and it very frustrating but upwards and onwards. Peace be with you.

@fromthehill If you wander over to the kidney and bladder support group, you will find several discussions about renal/kidney diets.
We all seem to agree that diet and the foods we consume play a mjor factor in our kidney health. Many of us, myself included, heard from our doctors telling us not to worry, not to go towards a renal diet, etc. Wrong! is all I gotta say about that! Watching intake of sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, protein and redmeat are all very important.
Do yourself a great favor by taking control of what you eat!

Not knowing your specific situation I would tell you to get a second opinion. My first nephrologist said there was nothing to do but my Mayo Clinic doctors have a completely different opinion. Controlling blood sugar is important as the more sugar in the blood the more syrupy it gets and more difficult for the kidneys to filter. As far as sodium, potassium, phosphorus, etc. there are formulas to follow to learn your limits. When diagnosed 4 years my eGFR was 39 and it was 57 last week. My creatinine has also improved the same amount. SO diet is very important as far as I'm concerned and most experts agree. Best wishes.
