Just found out my 70ish father has stage 3 kidney disease. There are some things I’m finding online, but they tend to be vague “improve your lifestyle” and “see a doctor” type suggestions. We’re kinda avoiding hospitals for understandable reasons, but I want to know if there’s anything we’re not being told because of the stranglehold pharma has on medical recommendations. He is seeing his (trusted) doctor though.
Note: Nothing in this topic is to be taken as direct medical advice, but I want to know anything else that can be done.
Thanks!
My buddy's mother in law was on dialasis and now she's off it. Turns out some of her meds were effecting kidney function.
Also my wife is in stage 3 kidney failure having rebounded from stage 4 because of mineral imbalances in her blood (high calcium for one). Doctor says many things can worsen the GFR number, but many people can remain at stage three for the rest of their lives.
Important to check ALL blood issues and limit protein intake.
