Just diagnosed Stage 3 CKD: Should I be referred to a nephrologist?

I've had an ileostomy for about 5 years now and it has taken a toll on my kidneys mostly due to the dehydration ileostomies are known for. I was diagnosed with CKD 3 also. I have stones often which are too large to pass and have to have surgery to remove them. Anyone else with an ostomy in the group?

Hi @rwh1968, I'm tagging fellow members @kitmus and @longlegs who also live with an ileostomy and chronic kidney disease. They may have experiences to add.

I bet you'll have some wisdom and experiences to share. What type of surgery did you have to remove the stones?
