Been diabetic for 25 years. Had no idea my kidneys well get affected !! Now I’m Learning praying it’s not too late. I’ve started my plant based diet about six months ago
Primary Doctors get those tests , but then do nothing for patient because most dont even read your blood tests, [doctor assistant just said i was "dehydrated" ]until patient has symptoms and patient insists on doctor doing something about it. My GFR went from 57 to 38 in less than a year, creatinine, creatinine kinase, urea, urate, and luekocytes all way beyond above normal levels in less than a year. I suddenly felt nauseous vomiting and dizzy like was in an elevator.
Been, on dialysis, 2013 until present, do not think, anything happen, for me, just go to the center, back home, no information as to any change in my well being, hate it!!!
Type 1 diabetic 50 years and stage 4 kidney failure . I need a kidney transplant . I’m finding it very challenging to navigate the process. I’m not on dialysis. GFR 29 / low was 12 -6 months ago. Quality of life is deteriorating. I’m an athlete . The transplant centers want GFR in the teens. Stage 4 kidney failure. Any suggestions?
