We’re doing our second diet session focused on CKD nutrition. We’ll cover: - How to prevent CKD with diet - Diet for Stage 1–3 - Diet for Stage 4 - What actually changes as kidney function declines 💬 Let’s make this personalised To discuss diet properly, we need your numbers. Comment below: - eGFR - Creatinine - Potassium - Phosphate - Calcium We’ll select top 4 members and create a customised diet plan live so everyone can learn. This will be practical — the goal is to help you understand what YOU should actually eat 👍

Most of the people here are CKD patients, I would like to know some info from them. It will help all the members. Please respond to the questions in comments. 1. When was their CKD diagnosed and at what Stage ? 2. What was the eGFR numbers at the time of diagnosis? 3. What is the present eGFR? 4. What is the cause of their CKD ? Just want to know if there are any patient here who have managed this for multiple decades at same stage. It might be useful to all of us.

This Thursday, we’ll have a special session with our Health Coach & Nutritionist 🙌 @Sonali Makani Kayal What makes this session different is that she is not just teaching from books. She was a caregiver for her mother, who had CKD, and spent years helping manage her diet, appointments, and daily struggles. So she understands: - the emotional side of kidney disease - caregiver stress - practical food problems - and what patients actually go through every day We also have @Alka Phutela who is a nutritionist and has been diagnosed with protein leak. I’m sure many of you will learn a lot from both their experience and guidance 💬 Comment below What specific question would you like covered in the webinar? Examples: - protein confusion - potassium/phosphate foods - Indian diet questions - eating outside - weakness/fatigue - supplements Drop your questions below 👇

A drug called sparsentan has now received FDA approval for FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis). This is important because FSGS is a condition where patients often have significant protein leak, and treatment options have been limited. Sparsentan works by targeting pathways involved in proteinuria reduction, and studies have shown it can help reduce protein leak in selected patients. But this is important ⚠️ Sparsentan (FSGS) — who is it for? Key cut-offs (from trials / approval context) - eGFR: generally ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m² - Proteinuria: significant protein leak (often UPCR ≥ 1.5 g/g) - Diagnosis: biopsy-proven primary FSGS (not secondary causes) What this means for you It’s a positive step forward in kidney care. But more importantly:Understanding your own reports (protein, eGFR, diagnosis) matters before thinking about treatments like this. New treatments are coming — which is good. But the basics still matter: - controlling BP - reducing protein leak - staying consistent Comment below - what do you think?
