Hi once again this is Jo Lynn ( Jodie), i also only have one kidney and was told i am in stage 4 kidney disease I'm 82 and am not ready to give up.

[@DADVICETV]

Hi Jodie! Being 82 and stage 4 I would focus on blood pressure control, eating a heart healthy diet, staying active, and not smoking. Dr. Ro will be on next week to talk about the latest treatments to slow CKD, and it would be helpful. You got this and we are here to help support you!

[@rosemaryhachman955]

I’m praying for the artificial kidney..I’m 66 so I figure I am too old to be considered for a transplant..so I keep praying, I’m at 24 Egfr…I get sick a lot and dehydrate and everytime it causes an acute kidney injury!! 😊

[@ayseadel607]

Hi James, love from Turkey. Thank you and Dr. Ro for giving me hope and helping me reduce my anxiety. I am Stage 3A suddenly. But it fluctuates a lot. I have insulin resistance. So it is very difficult for me to decide what to eat. I need to lose weight, need to fight my insulin resistance however I also need to be careful with the kidneys. So I really don’t know what to eat. What would you recommend?

[@sinegasubramanian7454]

Hi James , good to see you again 🎉can you please tell us to which stage you have progressed ur kidneyfunction now. Its kinda motivating😊

[@cynthiabragg2611]

Hello James, Ibuprofen was my go to pain relief too it caused stomach problems,gerd, eventually aspirated vomiting and dehydration ended me up in the hospital and eventually contrast dye was added and i was intubated for 4 days. I stay away from it like the plague 😂

[@mareneaufrance5096]

Does eating too much sugar substitute effect your eating habits. I have stage 3 ckd and pre-diabetic, so watching sugar and salts.

[@IMChrysalis]

Yes. I understand that a number of studies have determined that artificial sweeteners MAKE YOU crave sweets! ...I have diabetes, too, but also have fibromyalgia, and artificial sweeteners can also trigger fibromyalgia flare-ups... best to stick with nature for your desserts...

[@Rehanvlogsandstudios2014]

[@akhilasurve7568]

[@swap7580]

My Gfr is 42 .

[@laurakent2127]

I was wondering if youve had any liver numbers that werent normal. I kniw it can come with kidney disease, but i noticed in a recent video that you had "bronzing" on the sides that are indicative of fatty liver or other problems. I think im starting with this, but my pink cheeks may have hidden it. I've learned that liver bloodwork sometimes wont show anything until a person's liver is cirrhotic

[@Carol-ii4gz]

Hello, James 😁

[@DADVICETV]

Hi Carol! Great to have you here with us in our Kidney community!

[@kathyemery3272]

So aspirin in morning?

[@bsharpe25]

My kidney function has greatly improved, from stage 3 to stage 2, but my weight is crazy. I’m so concerned about my weight, but my doctors seem to not really care.

[@dfrazier3529]

Hey I wanted to ask you a question how did you get from stage 3 to Stage 2

[@bsharpe25]

@@dfrazier3529 Intermittent fasting and limited protein. Fasting was a game changer for my kidney function. Also, I limit protein.

[@cesarhernandez-wv8oj]

your weight is crazy? skiny? overweight?
