I . a woman, 68 years.. Just diagnosed with ckd stage 3. My doctor hasn t given me a diet or a referral to a nephrologist and I don t know what I m doing. My GFR is 45. What can I do until I see a nephrologist. I also have a CNS demyelinating disease without a pinpoint diagnosis.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I must advise you, diet is very important in renal disease. As you've CKD stage 3, you must observe strict control of salt to 6g/day. Avoid fresh fruits and coconut water. You should take between 1500-2000cals/day, depending on body weight. You should ask for a diet sheet for kidney patients from your nephrologist. If you've any other doubts, you may send it, as a direct question to me. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
