NEED HELP AND ADVICE: I just got my blood test a few weeks ago: apparently, my egfr is 89-90. I’m 38 years old with no diabetes, normal blood pressure, normal red blood cells, no protein in urine (light yellow abs clear). The only thing they found was I was high on cholesterol (I did consume a lot of eggs), high in vitamin d, high on b12 and barely low on MCV (meaning I’m a little anemic). Is there a way for me to increase my egfr? Am I at risk?

[@nephroghost1912]

@@rs7458 you are perfectly fine. That’s a normal GFR for someone in your age group and if your muscle mass is higher than average it is likely higher than the calculated value. We do 24 hr urine tests and in many cases the actual GFR is higher than the calculated one. If your creatinine is around 1 you are fine.

@@rs7458 - Appears to me that your eGFR is great, look up the ranges.

[@SummerEaze]

@@rs7458Your eGFR (which is only an estimate of how your kidneys are filtering blood) is within the “normal” range actually. Lower eGFR numbers = weakening kidney function Kidney function declines slowly with age as well, especially 60+. So I would say not to worry. From what I found out, high vit D levels could be due to supplements. (2,000 IU a day is safer than higher doses-high vit D means high calcium levels in the blood which is harmful for other structures like the heart & bones)

There appear to be so many remedies for kidney related issues such as waking in the night many times which I have been having for more than 10 years. Ever since I started ketogenic diet and OMAD, my diabetes is virtually gone, I am insulin sensitive, have a very good BMI and the best of all is that I seldom wake up even once a night to urinate. My Fitbit says I get about 1.5 hrs of deep sleep and about 1.25 hrs of sleep interruption, resulting in solid 7 hrs sleep with sleep score always above 80%. Thanks to you Dr. Berg for producing these wonderful no frill videos that helped me to change my life style around. many thanks to COVID as well. By the way after taking medication for diabetes for almost 20 years, now I am free of any medications.

What you put in is a serious thing. My granpa died last yr at 93. This dude got up every morning and ate ONLY fruits for breakfast, 1tablespoon of honey & one of olive oil. Lunch was fish or some meat with provisions like cassava, beet, dasheen etc. Very very rare he would eat flour or fried stuff. He always said "you must not eat too much". He was slim built, lived on his own & go have an occasional drink with friends at the bar. But he was always out the house. He told me "eat right, and never sit down in a house all the time like most old folk. Get out and socialise". I believe him 💯💯percent. I was over weight & made the effort and adopted his diet. I lost 50lbs in two months...my blood pressure & sugar levels are great.

Notes from Dr Berg: The kidneys are filters that convert blood into urine and recycle your fluid, protein, nutrients, and hormones. Other functions of the kidneys include: • Coordinating the amount of fluid in the body • Converting vitamin D into the active form of vitamin D • Regulating blood pressure • Regulating the hydration of the body • Eliminating toxins from the body High blood sugar levels can lead to diabetic nephropathy, one of the most common causes of kidney failure and end-stage renal disease. The first sign of kidney disease is nocturia, a situation where you urinate often during the night. Other common signs of kidney disease are protein in the urine and edema. I have found that the best way to stop nocturia is to focus on improving the person’s diabetes first. A high-carb diet is ultimately behind diabetes. The best ways to support your kidneys: 1. Go on a keto diet 2. Do intermittent fasting (one and a half meals a day) 3. Consume plant phytonutrients 4. Take benfotiamine 5. Take alpha-lipoic acid 6. Consume turmeric Thank you Dr Berg!! 🐱👍🏿

This can be a huge salad. DO NOT PUT CREAM STYLE DRESSING ON YOUR SALADS. Find alternative dressings like Italian etc. no cream dressings. - after your PM meal DO NOT EAT AGAIN ANYTHING! NO SNACKING AT ALL ! - this is the absolute key. Your liver must rest. After the 5:30pm meal do not eat again until 1030 AM THE NEXT DAY. - you can drink lemon water. In-between meal periods.

Saturated animal fat is toxic. The studies that have the replacement for the saturated animal fat being whole carbs shows heart disease to be much higher when a person consumes animal products. These are randomized controlled studies. The studies that show saturated fat is okay are the ones that DO NOT specify what the missing saturated animal fats were replaced with so people probably replaced them with fatty processed food, thus no difference between the saturated animal fats and the processed. So the influencers latch onto the idea that saturated animal fat is okay without realizing the study parameters are flawed. So in essence, plant based diets, whole plants, is best and healthiest.

I can’t believe how many videos you churn out! So many tips, hundreds of different ways to combat heart issues, blood pressure etc etc, what’s your motivation on sending so many conflicting and confusing methods? I have done a full circle and try keep my life simple, organic and just try to enjoy it, watching your videos only makes me self conscious, paranoid and over analytical about everything I eat and drink. It’s also important to live your life without constant bombardment of noise and how to constantly do things better.

Type 2 diabetic here, with Crohn's, taking Entyvio infusions, plus Metformin, Glipizide and Farxiga. I just started seeing foaming in the urine, which you discussed in a video a while back. I thought I hadn't yet cleared all the toilet bowl cleanser, but when you talked about symptoms of kidney disease and mentioned it, you really caught my attention. So, to my doctor, I mentioned the foaming that I was seeing, and she jumped right on it. We are going to change my meds. Had I not seen your video previously, I would have continued thinking that I use a very foamy toilet cleanser, and would have never mentioned the foam to my doctor. It was your "10 Warning Signs Your Kidneys are Toxic" video! Thank you!

I was recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, chronic renal failure and renal artery stenosis. I had a severe nosebleed and went to the hospital and my blood pressure was 265/144. It was terrible. I had an ECG, cat scan an ultrasound with dye and they found the damaged artery. I had no idea I was walking around with blood pressure that could kill me for who knows how long. Now I’m on BP medication, I take my BP twice a day. I have my blood taken every other month to check kidney function and then every 6 months I see a Nephrologist with extensive blood work. Monitor for a possible stent to open the artery. Life changes fast!

[@alphacause]

As someone whose father died as a result of kidney disease, induced by type 2diabetes, this subject hits really close to home. Thank you Dr. Berg. Not only does the topic of kidney disease resonate strongly with me, because it led to father's demise, it is particularly salient now because kidney disease is running rampant throughout the population, mainly as a result of just how rapidly type 2 diabetes is afflicting the population. I remember when my father first developed nephropathy in 1994, it was rare to see dialysis centers anywhere near my neighborhood. You had to drive a considerable distance to get to one. Now, I know of 3 kidney dialysis centers that are walking distance from my same neighborhood. When my father was first diagnosed with this disease, you would never see advertisements for dialysis on TV. Now advertisements for dialysis services are as common place as advertisements McDonalds

[@chuckd7423]

I very seldom see any over the air advertisements for either dialysis or McDonalds where I live. Non-stop advertisements for Medicare Advantage plans and lawyers advertising their services for everything under the sun fills up the TV airwaves in my part of the country, and leaves little remaining time for any other type of advertisements.

[@itzajdmting]

Thanks for sharing your story. My condolences regarding your father. All the best.

@@chuckd7423 my best advice is ditch your TV. I've not watched one since about 2008. I don't miss it at all. I can't stand advertisements, and that makes up 60-70% of TV watching.

[@runningwithscissors0911]

Just the info I NEED ~ so grateful to you Dr. B! My Nephrologist just wants to push one pill on top of another pill. Has never asked about my diet, has never bothered to explain CKD (3b) or offer health-promoting strategies ~ just more pills, get bloodwork done again and make another appointment in 3 months. I worked in healthcare so I am intimately familiar with its stressors and challenges. I also know that medicine is a business and I get that the primary goal of business is to stay in business. Just boggles my mind though, that American MD's won't get out of bed with pharmacology reps (and "Big Pharma" won't get out of bed with the FDA!) and start addressing root casues instead of just controlling or managing symptoms with meds. (Sometimes even worse: do nothing at all ~ "Let's just wait and see.") It's a smart and lucrative business model as it ensures the continuous return of paying customers (keeping existing patients) vs getting them healthy enough to not need you and having to constantly seek an ongoing revenue stream by pulling in new patients. Medical education would have to change for this to occur though, and this seems insurmountable (so was a vacinnation for polio and an effective treatment for AIDS), but of course it isn't. It's just hard, and where there is no will, there's no looking for a way. * SIGH *

When I quit eating any kind of sugar at all and I’m talking a diet of only meat & certain vegetables, my diabetes almost went away, my eyes got better, (which I did not know was even possible, ) I lost 40 pounds in about half a year ( really quickly 😳!!! ) my pain lessened all over my body The results were truly amazing 🤩 It’s hard for me to stay on that diet of course and I never go out to eat because you just cannot trust what they have put into anything !!! I also can’t trust anything that’s premade I have to make everything myself It’s been hard on me, but it’s been really worth it & I may live longer because of it I did it because the doctor scared the heck out of me and said she was gonna have to put me on insulin NOPE 👎🏼 I am older women , so change can happen at any age. It may be hard, but if you stick to it, it’s worth it.

All carbs are converted to sugar. Just go carnivore

On the 8 glasses thing, this depends a LOT on activity, food types ingested, even humidity. A lot of research shows that its a myth that you need to drink this actively. Be mindful of thirst, but in general you will know by urine color and thirst levels.

My husband and I eat the micro greens and sprouts. More nutrition in a smaller portion. We also do cold water tank and sauna therapy following the Wim Hoff and deep breathing method. We are 67 years young and are taking no meds of any kind. We are still active. We have no arthritis. We definitely follow the practical keto plan

I’ve been a Type 1 Diabetic for 45 years. My kidneys are still working but they probably will pack up at some point. The control of Diabetes is still extremely hard work it dominates my life, it never stops.

26 years. Feeling bit of low back pain. I manage fairly well now with dexcom but still have low sugar scares where I take glucagon or pound down sugar and it spikes to near 400. Do you run into that?
