Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3

[@kittoybig]

Thanks James. I was a stage 3 kidney patient last Dec. Found your channel by chance and followed your diet. My last test in June revealed that my kidney is back to normal. Thanks again.

[@nichellevillalpando5200]

Wat was the diet raw veggies and baking soda

[@kittoybig]

@@nichellevillalpando5200 Just salads, water and more water. I walk for about 30 minutes in the morning. Also drink a glass of half a lemon juice on an empty stomach in the morning on alternate days.

[@nichellevillalpando5200]

So in 6 months u went from 3 to normal just off salads n water n lemon juice that's amazing I love salad

[@kittoybig]

@@nichellevillalpando5200 Nichelle, I must clarify that I add salads to my daily diet besides eating the normal stuff like chickens, eggs, etc. More salads and less meat. I hated veges before but had no choice but to take in as much as possible because of the kidney problem. I was desperate and had to give it a shot as I fear the thought of going into dialysis if my kidney worsen. Thank goodness, it works for me. I am still sticking to the diet. I understand that veges, water and lemon juice help to clear the toxins that accumulate in our kidneys and prevent them from functioning normally. I also minimise my daily salt and sugar intake .

[@nichellevillalpando5200]

So u did n 6 months top how soon u notice difference

[@lstanich1]

Thanks!

[@juliepomp5843]

Being newly diagnosed with stage 3b, this is just what I needed to hear. Thank you for providing such valuable information.

[@kittoybig]

I was in a similar situation as you. Don't give up, stick to the diet and you will see the difference in a few months.

[@Cat_festation]

I’m glad I found this channel. I’m newly diagnosed age 58 with Egfr of 61 and creatine 1.06, albumin 5.0. I had been on a keto diet prior to blood work (not the wisest choice) and need to speak with my doctor. I’m concerned.

[@lisbergstrom409]

Very informative and presented in user friendly manner. Thank you!!

[@nancystarkey2916]

I send my friend this link he has stage three kidney disease I have stage two and watching this reallyhelp me

[@laurapetriccione6743]

I had my kidney transplant less than 2 months ago. My gfr was down to 10 and I was very close to dialysis. I was on the transplant list for 1 year. I highly recommend NYU Langone in NYC. My kidneys were destroyed from lithium use many years ago. Everything went well with the transplant since my body was in Excellent shape. Ate organic, drank plenty of water, blood sugar was perfect no high blood pressure. All I can say is watch your health! And watch Dadvice. James got me thru. I was so lucky that I never went on dialysis and was on the transplant list! Good luck to all out there!!

[@gemunudesilva7378]

Learnt a lot o gfrs & protein leakage. I am 77 & my gfr was above 60 & prolonged use of omprezole for acid reflux caused gfr to go down to 20. I was referred to a nephrologist who is treated me & gfr is now 42 at the last test. I was told by many friends with ckd that gfr cannot be reversed. I have now opened my eyes with this advice. Will watch for more from dadvice in the future I give my updates with a thousand thanks. Will look for the book too. God bless all.

[@ameliasuarez1235]

Thank you James! I learned so so much from your channel. It has changed how I feel in my body with stage 3b, 34%. Thanks again from the Netherlands. God bless you!

[@Redhawk-dy3nt]

Hi James, in your long list of symptoms, did you ever experience muscle weakness, not necessarily cramping, but overall weakness in the arms and legs? I am pretty surprised that this is my first physical symptom based on all of my research. Thank you and Dr. Ro for the great show today and best of luck with your move.

[@ameliasuarez1235]

This usually hss to do with too much potassuim in your system. Get tested to check ypur potassuim.

[@Redhawk-dy3nt]

@@ameliasuarez1235 Thank you for your response. I was going to guess low vitamin D as this can cause weakness as well. I just watched James' video on potassium too.

[@ameliasuarez1235]

@@Redhawk-dy3nt whenever i eat too much potassuim i feel weak. But of course everyone is different. Take care and get your labs done every 3 months in any case regularly and eat according to them. Good luck!

[@Cat_festation]

I’ve had that symptom, but it did go away after a few weeks. I’m new here so thinking the comments about potassium make sense.

[@Redhawk-dy3nt]

I definitely think that the potassium comments makes sense as well. The crazy thing is that I just have been reading that so much can cause muscle weakness including mineral deficiency, vitamin issues, and also too much of a specific mineral. I guess it's a guessing game until one goes and gets tested.

Hi James I'm from srilanka..your doing a great job and I'm a kidney 0ation and I'm on dialyses and egfr went down up to 4 and iv been following your clips and Iv stopped taking animal protine and my kidney was shrinked from 9.1 to 7.3 but recently it has been getting better and I could see that it has enlarged a bit from 7.3 to 7.9..I would like get your advice regarding this..looking forward to your respond James

[@franceswilson8162]

Thanks for answering my question

[@alohacone7467]

Enjoy all the videos! I have Stage 3 and sometimes 4. I only have a percent ( ?)of my right kidney left. My left kidney has atrophied. Could I have a kidney transplant on the one that’s left? What are my chances? Would it be possible to go on dialysis? Thank you, Aloha Cone/ Georgia

[@DADVICETV]

You would still be eligible to get a transplant or to go on dialysis. If you believe you may get a transplant in the future, I would recommend making certain that you are a healthy weight. Transplant centers have BMI requirements.

[@alohacone7467]

Thanks James! I would like a consultation appt. set up for me. I have followed your video and talk show forever. I believe in Dr Ro! Thank you James

[@kalaatmaniam7052]

Following your talk. Thank you so much for the information. Be vegan will help alot. Without dialysis life is better. Too much expenses too. Simple food mostly without salt and sugar will help

[@paternalimocon-xu9ik]

Thanks James for having this program. I am diagnosed as 3rd stage ckd last march 2023. My crea spikes up to 249 I am suffering anemia and my doc inject me erythropoietin (epoiten) need a few advice if this good to increase my hemoglobin in a long term. Is this not hazardous to my health if I use it so many months?

[@coryf.1877]

I disagree with not diagnosing stage 2. If your proactive you can probably make lifestyle changes and be healthier, better quality & longevity; so why not catch early???

[@ameliasuarez1235]

Exactly!

[@vivianaperez454]

Because Drs. are reactive to diseases ....no proactive ! Business !🤑🤑

[@rj0619]

I was diagnosed as having Stage 3 I would like to ask how serious is this and should I be very worried?

[@DADVICETV]

Stage 3 is serious, but not something to get too worried about. Stage 3 covers a WIDE range, and your age and any protein leakage in your urine plays a big role in how serious it is. It's important to keep your blood pressure controlled, eat a heart-healthy diet, stay active, and remove any bad habits that harm or put stress on the kidneys. Even if you are at the bottom of stage 3, you may be able to keep it controlled and not have any symptoms for decades - but it takes being proactive and working with your health care team. I have several videos under the LIVE tab on the Dadvice TV channel that talk about stage 3 with Dr. Rosansky - check those out. And be careful of the fake cures, fixes, flushes, restores, solutions out there - they are not going to fix your kidneys and could cause more harm. Use the internet as a source to know what questions to talk to your doctor about and run everything by your doctor before doing it. Good luck - you can manage this!

Does green tea deplete iron? How bad is low iron/ferritin?

[@unpopularopinionedpariah6102]

My eGFR is 60 and my protein is... 8.3 g/dL 6.3 - 8.2 g/dL I dont know what that means... and ive been fasting a lot

[@youtubeisgodsblessing]

It’s disappointing to hear someone who doesn’t have kidney disease talk about it. When your eGFR is in the 30s, you definitely have symptoms. And that is stage three! When my eGFR was 37, my hair was coming out and I had alopecia that’s what led me to the doctor. I had terrible back pain. I was scratching like a crackhead. My skin aged overnight and I looked 👀 like an old lady. My energy levels depleted out of the blue. And much more! All of my vitamins were gone. Several of my minerals were deficient too. I had Proteinuria. And the list goes on and on. My pH was acidic.

[@ameliasuarez1235]

If you follow the kidney diet most of those symptoms will dissappear or get less. I follow the diet at stage 3b 34% and i feel really good! I just have to follow the diet. Meat will mess you up. Lemon water will fix your ph and make you more alkaline.

[@jenniferj4679]

Well I recently when down to gfr 30 and I haven't experienced any of those or any other u mention I guess everyone is diiferent

[@ameliasuarez1235]

Yes everyone is different If i do not follow the low protein diet i get really sick. So everyone is different. Maybe it also depends on what kind of kidney disease we have. Polycystic kidney disease.

[@kimrowe8808]

Stage 3 hair falling out.peeing like crazy that interrupts the work day.weaker in general moving slower.that matters. So yes everyone different.

[@jenniferj4679]

Yea thats what I said I honestly do t have a condition or preexisting condition I just had a kidneys transplant at 13 years old but they didn't really found out what caused the kidneys to basically die!!! And when to stage 3b because it's been 21 years but not for any condition with my kidneys thankfully they are still doing well so I guess is diiferent from you guys.

[@annettemisenheimer2398]

I lost one kidney and told I had kidney disease 6 years later. Any chance this was due to having only one kidney.

What about artificial kidney

[@debbiedcosta7877]

What do you do if you have protein in the urine? I have high creatinine level (100) How can I lower it?

[@yourworstnightmare5291]

Drink lemon grass. It can lower your creatinine and bloodsugar,Highblood as well, boil it in 10mins . Trust me i done this . From 138 down to 106 in just 1month

[@silviamedina6156]

I need the answer because iam 68 with stage 3 chronic kidney disease

[@franceswilson8162]

James what is your diet?

[@DADVICETV]

I eat a diet with lots of plant based foods, some chicken and eggs. I use my labs to set limits for my nutrients (sodium, potassium, etc.), which allows me to eat what I want with portion control. The biggest challenge for me is keeping sodium reasonable and carbs low.

[@richardcoleman9284]

I’m at stage 3 and I have the doctors book. My doctor saids all my tests are ok for now. I see the doctor in about another year from now. I can’t help it but I worry a lot about my disease killing me. What should I be doing now? I’m obese, have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I weigh 274 and need to lose 74+ pounds.

[@DADVICETV]

I would focus on eating and living healthy. Getting your blood pressure controlled is extremely important, as well as lowering your cholesterol. Being active will help your blood pressure, heart, and brain. It is nice to drop weight, but data shows that isn’t as important as the others. If you smoke or have other bad habits, it is time to work on cutting those. You can do it!

[@baeballa]

I have a high cholesterol too and I ask my Dr if I should take med but I was told to get a Calcium Score first, then it depends on the result if I would take meds. I stopped taking BP diuretic med per Dr’s advise to see if these causes my renal function to decline and would get better. So far gfr raises to 20 points, and BP is now normal.

[@albaniamaysonet9524]

What causes chronic kidney disease?

[@DADVICETV]

Most common is diabetes, followed by high blood pressure. Those two cover the majority of causes.

[@albaniamaysonet9524]

Thank you 😊

[@henrylim695]

My renal Dr told me that most people lose about 1% per year from aged 30. If normal eGFR is 100%, a 70 years old would have egfr of 60%. Is this true?

[@DADVICETV]

This is mostly correct. On average, an adult drops about 1 eGFR point per year (which is actually less than a percent since the eGFR scale goes well above 100). A 70 year old with an eGFR of above 60 is typically considered normal kidney function. It's important to also look at protein in your urine - that along with estimated GFR gives you a better look at your risk factors.

[@henrylim695]

@@DADVICETV Dr Ro kept emphasising urine protein is more important to indicate kidney damage. Urine albumin can be measured. But why is albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) also calculated and is more important. Pls explain the relevance of using urine creatinine to calculate ACR?

[@DADVICETV]

The only time I have seen them help, is for non-diabetics on a very tight low carb diet under the direction of a dietitian. These are not things you should take without a dietitian ensuring you are using them correctly and that you actually need them. It is important to never self prescribe supplements or diet restrictions.
