I'm 80 Years Old And Have Been Diagnosed With CKD-type 3. I Try To Substitute Nuts, Seeds And Beans For Protein Requirements.

charles4 asked a question 💭

My urologist recommends pumpkin seeds for prostate health, my cardiologist recommends flax seeds for lowering BP. Also, potassium pills. It seems kidney health recommendations would eliminate these. Also, I'd like to follow a plant-based diet. How can I satisfy my protein requirements without beans, nuts and seeds? Help.

Jay2 asked a question 💭

I have just learned I have 45-50% remaining kidney function. I’m 74 years old. I want to change my diet ASAP to protect my remaining kidney function. No salt. But butter is going to be tough for me to quit. What are good choices instead?

IgA Nephropathy: Symptoms You Should Know About Read Article...
A myIgANcenter Subscriber

The white substance you're noticing could be protein in your urine (proteinuria), which is a common symptom of IgA Nephropathy. However, it's important to discuss this with your doctor right away. They can test your urine to determine exactly what the substance is and check your kidney function. Keep track of when you notice it and any other symptoms you experience to share with your healthcare team.

My husband complained for years to his doctors about unbearable abdominal pain twenty-four hours a day every day. On the day he passed in the emergency department of the hospital, he had very little urine accumulated in the bag but he was becoming extremely bloated from the fluid intake as I.V. He was never diagnosed as having kidney problems; in fact he was never tested for it. Could he have died from kidney failure? Would you have any idea as to why he became so bloated from the many bags of I.V. administered?
