Everything To Know About The Stages Of Kidney Disease

[@alanderps]

Amazing video! I got answers for all my main questions about this disease. It seems that Michele was reading my mind when asking questions :)

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

So glad we were able to answer all the questions you were thinking of :)

[@cesarabrego3410]

I love this information!! Dr. Hashmi broke these stages down fantastic...very clear...I'm diagnosed with C.K.D 2/3a......Thank you Doc!!

[@cesarabrego3410]

OMG. The renal dietician asked the right question!! The doc answered me the question the RIGHT way!! at last!! very clear....it's to maintain the stage and now to move forward...thank you guys!!!!

[@SignorNessuno65]

Although not the most joyous of topics, I am somewhat comforted by the straightforward knowledge of Dr. Hashmi and Michele. I am already stressing about making a doctor's appointment. Strange to hope I am only at stage 4. I know it is probably against the rules of ethics, but I wish they could recommend physicians from different areas of the country. Although, that would probably be rather labor-intensive research. I assume Dr. Hashmi doesn't know that many doctors. Lol.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

We wish it were easier for people to work with physicians they want to all over the country as well! It's hard even in the US :/

[@lyndeeluu]

Thank you for sharing this information. The more we know, the better we can educate ourselves.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

Absolutely! Hope you found this video helpful!

[@mariatrotter6889]

Excellent. Thank you for stressing lifestyle and diet . This is encouraging. Thank you Dr. H

[@alokebanik1056]

Thanks for sharing your information. I am stage 5 now which means that I will be requiring dialysis anytime as the eGfr is only 25 . But to reach this stage it took about 15 years. Now I suffer with all the problems u have mentioned. God’s grace that I am going through with this pain.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

So sorry you are in pain and experiencing a lot of these symptoms :/ Diet and lifestyle still make a big difference in health and symptoms in stage 5!

[@think_and_grow8]

Thank you very much for your kind information

[@SusanClendaniel]

Thank you! That gave me better insight into my husband’s CKD, his gfr improved, on WFPB diet, he lost a lot of weight, exercising & drinking only water, but he will always have CKD, but feeling better is the point!

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

Glad it was helpful and that you are feeling better about it! Knowledge is power.

Can the Kidney transplant patient take probiotics? Please cover this information in the next video. Waiting in anticipation. In the meantime please answer here too.

[@Tazz77]

Good info. Why no recent videos?

[@lenkanevrlkova5800]

Hallo guys, could you maybe cover NMN and Astaxanthin in CKD? Thank you!!!

[@domalamabomjan]

Can we have vitamin C ? If so which ones are safe? And for iron deficiency as well please?

[@davidwoods607]

Hello all, could you comment on what supplements that could damage your kidneys, etc ginger, tumbric oinions, garlic.

[@Grace.Hb2433]

The left kidney is swollen. There is no reduction in how many tips are made. This can be done through a tablet. If so please let me know the best tablet

[@carolyncook6409]

Do you and Michelle still have weekly webinars?

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

Hi! We do monthly live Q&As. They are the third Tuesday of the month at 5:30 PM PST. Our next one will be on Tuesday, August 20th :)

[@mrmaxcarter2306]

My nephrologist was useless. He didn't tell me to change anything.

[@TomH48]

Is it possible to reverse kidney disease? I've read articles from different universities and some say yes and others say no you can only maintain your current stage of ckd.

[@PlantBasedKidneyHealth]

We have an episode on this! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5uxmal4mpiLmck

[@spumemonk11]

It is possible. I was diagnosed stage 3 with a GFR of 49. I went on a plant based diet and exercised regularly. After around 10 weeks I went to stage 2 with a GFR of 70. There are many other people who have done the same and better.

[@annabelleloreno986]

Thanks, again, Dr. Hashmi and Michelle, I am learning a lot from you! I find your videos very helpful and educational. Thank you very much!🥰
