Function matters more, but structural deformity or changes can point to Kidney disease

Request to members
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.

@Ashima Singh Madam, I got to know about CKD by a chance after a blood test last November. I moved to Elimination diet, but this isn't good strategy. Today, I realised it that strategy would not work for too long. From 2011 to 2025, I had no idea about my Kidney Function numbers because I never got tested and none of the Neurologists who were handling my case of Spinal Cord Injury in these 15 yrs ever suggested me to do KFT. This is why CKD is silent killer, no specific symptoms and many times those symptoms can be confused for some other medical problems. In 2011 my blood reports were normal, just Creatinine was 1.3 like high normal for my age ( then 18 yrs). Unfortunately, it was ignored and now I am in 3rd stage B after recent lab tests. At the moment it is stablized, I am under care of Urologist because this case external damage to Kidneys. DASH diet or Plant based diet help. But I will not suggest my strategy because I am now changing it post today's session. Present serum creatinine is 2.0

Special Thanks to Doctors for such a beautiful session explaining everything
Special Thanks to Dr @Arjun Sabharwal Sir, and Dr @Upma Bhatia Madam, today I got a clarity on real diet plan and why CKD is not just about restrictions but following a healthy lifestyle in lab limits. The diet session was extremely helpful to me, I request other members to take interest in these sessions. Members will get a lot of knowledge on various aspects of CKD like managing electrolyte imbalance successfully, which is unavailable anywhere. We all have overlapping situation, do watch those videos and try to participate in upcoming sessions. This is for the members. For last 8 months, I have been experimenting with different things because of no guidance but this session has given me a direction to manage my CKD. Thanks a lot again Regards Vivek

Low BP
My blood pressure had been running low for a few days, but yesterday morning it dropped to 80/50. I started sweating, my vision went dark, and I felt dizzy. I went to the hospital emergency room and saw my nephrologist. He discontinued both of my blood pressure medications—Telmisartan 40 and Metoprolol XR 12.5. The nephrologist also advised me to consult a cardiologist. The cardiologist agreed that it was best to stop both medications for the time being, until my blood pressure returned to normal levels. After that, I met the nephrologist again. Upon my strong insistence, instead of discontinuing the Telmisartan 40, he prescribed half the dose. I have proteinuria, which is why the nephrologist prescribed Telmisartan 40. While it didn't completely stop the protein leakage, it certainly reduced it. I haven't taken any blood pressure medication since last night, yet my blood pressure is currently 90/60. In the blood test I had at the hospital yesterday, both sodium and chloride levels came back below the normal range. This is the first time my test results have shown sodium and chloride levels outside the normal range. Since my blood pressure is still 90/60, I cannot even take half a dose of Telmisartan. I am afraid that stopping Telmisartan will further increase my protein leakage.

I also have this problem like blood pressure 90/60 at times, some times 100-110/60-70 but in my case it is reverse Sodium was 146 in last test. I guess my situation is hydration shift, I was drinking same amount of water in summer which I used to do it in Winter. I was also on Telmisartan 40 mg but that has been discontinued. Now, only Clinidipine 10 mg. And my blood pressure in general remains low during summer.

@Amrit Pal Singh Telma remains in blood stream for 24 hrs, and its impact is there till 1 week. You should see change after 1 week like return of your BP to pre-Telma baseline. This is what I was told. Do ask doctors whether you can increase water intake or not ? Sometimes due to different weather, same fluid pattern all over the year fails. Body needs more water in Indian summer,

Yes I asked two CKD patients to join this club. This is a great place, and Dr Arjun is very pragmatic Doctor different from the HODs in big hospital. Doctors like him give hope to patients who have been made lost case because of medical negligence by so called "Head of the Departments" basically old aged doctors.
