My 17 yr old daughter has renal stage 5 kidney disease. She goes to dialysis 3 times a week. It is so hard on her. She's also a picky eater so it's hard to get her to eat which makes her tiny. Thank you for your advice.

Thanks james

Thank you so much! My husband was diagnosed with stage 5 CKD. We're working hard to turn this around and we're doing it! I appreciate videos like this because having support through this is sooo needed! Bless you and thank you so much!

This video is five years old but still very relevant...great advice!! thank you for all you do!! I really enjoy your insightful videos/advice!!!

great video more ammo for my mind; because last year I had to move and ended up waiting on my apt a lil over a month and ended up eating uncharacteristic meat, fried food and fried carbs along with my regular spices and drastically reduced water intake(I usually drink exactly 8 glasses a a day) at my new primary visit my urine protein was over 3 with normal creatinine and EGFR and I told her i'd just moved and i'd be back in exactly 90 days after moving in and getting my diet back on track in 90 days proteinuria was negative I knew it was just a one off due to severe dehydration from my spices with little water and added meat cold turkey i've had multiple tests since then to ensure it was surely just a one off and still no proteinuria, however, I do notice adding meat to my diet increases my creatinine a few tenths but it still stays under one. I see and hear about the whole carnivore diet thing I'D NEVER DO THAT! the weirdest thing is that after dialysis ya'll tell folks to go eat a high protein meal. i'm 4 5'9" 150 my Las just hit my portal my EGFR is 114 i'm gonna continue to eat to live and as I age implement the testing you said to there's so much our Doctors don't tell us about thse basic tests, for instance, they'll tell us about A1C and not HOMA-IR.

Hi, I'm just in 42, and a DKD. Recently in this few months my eGfr is fluctuating Oct'24 was 64, Nov'24 down to 48, Dec'24 up to 59. Can you advise what is the reasons? Currently my HbA1C is 5.8, and proteinuria 100

Can you reduce creatine levels

What are the chances of me recovering from ckd & how high can my gfr go up? Here's what happened to me: 21 mos ago My doctor saw i had a gfr of 50. He told me to drink 96 oz of water a day for a wk, take a blood test & get back to him. Blood test showed gfr dropped to 38 in 1 wk. I knew my dr was wrong. Immediately when to a nephrologist & demand immediate attention. Same day she sent me for Ultrasound. Days later it showed extremly enlarged prostate blocking my urine and it cause Hydronephrosis. After prostate surgery, 2 yrs later my gfr runs 58 to 64 at a high. In 2018 the doctor saw my gfr had dropped to gfr of 61. Shouldn't he have informed me then that I might have a kidney problem? 7:47

Thank you!

What about Renal Stenosis in one Artery? My kidney function is fine but urine looks a bit foamy sometimes. Nothing major has shown up in blood / urine tests though

Thanks so much!

Dr Rick is AWESOME!!!!! I have been following him on all these amazing podcasts where he discusses about his research, Fructose, Uric Acid, Diabetes, Dementia, etc. always hoping that one day he would be somewhere talking just about kidney disease. So very happy that this day has finally come! Please come back often! Wish I lived in Colorado and could be his patient! Thank you so very much!❣️

My phosphorus was so low when I was just hospitalized I couldn't even walk or stand. Is nausea with ckd 3 normal or is it a really concerning sign?

Can the egfr r go down during a virus and stress

I get depressed because us high urine protein people have no hope

Hi James , this Dr. touch my heart, would you have him every month too please 🙏🏼 he has a lot to teach us ❤

What a great one-two punch is Dr. Ro and James. Have eased my mind on several different occasions. Get Dr. Rosansky's book. So easy to read Thank you, gentlemen.

This man has good energy and informative. Explanation is understandable which i appreciate from your channel with all your guests.

Hour well spent. God bless you both!

My sister has stage 4 Breast cancer as diagnosis with mets to lymph nodes, diabetes and later developed a rare form call Medullary thyroid cancer,she have just 2 years to live and she never been this scared to die, she just 37, i cry everyday wishing for a miracle to happen. i don't know why I'm saying this here. put me in your prayers.

I m 51. Creatinine 1.3. EGFR 64. No protein in urine. I have lost 4 kg weight dince detected in September '23. Kindly suggest,r

What is s and r

Thanks James and Dr Rosansky.What can I do to regain my weight back.Lost a lot of weight.Ckd stage 3

Thank you so much for your videos. They do help a lot of people understand CKD gives people some hope that it’s not a death sentence and it can be managed in alot of cases xx

This was getting too confusing for me due to my anxiety, depression & PTSD. Too often I would hear numbers, but was not clear on when the doctor is speaking about test results or people’s age. 😞 Specifying when he is speaking of age every time, that would help a lot.

47:30 quoting Dr. Rosansky: "Don't fall for any of these things that says your diet is going to cure your kidneys. It's nonsense. You're on a healthy diet to prevent the things that if you have CKD are giving you a risk, like a heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure. So you're on a plant based diet, it's a heart healthy diet, it's not going to cure kidney disease, there is no diet that cures kidney disease, there's no supplements, there's no probiotics, no herbs." James: I wonder what your kidney dietician (frequent visitor on your show) has to say about that????

Happy New Year ❤❤

Haven’t seen you on line in a very long time…you’ve gained a lot of weight since I saw you last. Hope you’re doing o.k.!

Does poor kidney function cause dehydration ? Does liquid IV packets help with Dehydration.

I'm 79, egfr 34, no protein in urine. My dr says my ckd is due to dehydration. My colon was removed 2 yrs ago due to severe ulcerative colitis. With no colon, I have to drink a lot of fluids every day including electrolyte drinks. How bad is my kidney problem.

I’m 68 and my eGFR was 55. After changing my diet slightly and increasing my water intake for 6 months, my eGFR is 71.

I got pretty good at reading blood test when I had leukemia. I got a new one every morning for 3 months. I've looked at family and friends blood test and nearly all are stage 3 probably because I'm 71 years old myself. They ask me if stage 3 is good or bad. I say pretty good but not great. Lol! I've been stage 3 for over a decade. Tons of chemo and antibiotics brought me from an eGFR of 85 to 60 and it's been the same now for 15 years. I had to have good kidneys and good everything else before the bone marrow transplant or they wouldn't do it. They ran me through test like an astronaut before I could get the transplant. It saves lives but does do damage. I enjoy all your videos. Great!

I am 73 and have to urinate at least 4 times every night and I wake up very dehydrated. Is this kidney or bladder related. I am stage 3A CKD

What is best type of bread or bun should a renal diabetic plus type 2 eat for lunch during hemodialysis?
