Thank you for your comments. I have never been prescribed (as yet) taking a pill for my aCKD3. I don't know what caused such a drop and I am very concerned about it. I see my doctor this Thursday and I am looking forward to talking to him about my concerns. Is Farxiga used to help with the progress of CKD? In your case that was not what you needed and I'm very sorry for what you had to go through. As I have said, I have not had the need for a pill to help with my CKD so Thursday I will hopefully get some answers. I have been told that there can be many reasons for a drop. I did have pneumonia when I had my blood work and that might have had something to for with the drop. In any event, I will post when I get some info. Again, thanks so much for your concern. : )

Many nephrologists like Farxiga because of the science, as they say. With Farxiga, there is a dose for endocrinolologists, and a higher dosage for those with CKD. I took the smaller dosage and had problems. Some say that Farxiga helps stabilize you so that you don't evolve into later stages. For me, it did not work; for others, perhaps so. Pills may not be the best solution, but a proper diet with a dietitian and exercise go a long ways. With CKD, the eGFR trend is what matters most, and some have their lab work done monthly or every other month if your insurance provides for this.
