Hi my name is Teri from Atlanta Georgia. I’m having a partial nephrectomy in a few weeks to remove a tumor. At first for years it was just a cyst now it’s more. And at first they were just going to remove the tumor but now the doctor wants to remove half my kidney. I don’t know why the change in plans till I see the surgeon next week. I’m scared. Has anyone else had this surgery before?
That is amazing!! I will try this♥️
My case was egfr=43 about 5 yrs ago when I was living in Marietta GA. Then at age of 62, I change my diet to:
Vegies: 80-90%
Protein: 5%
Carbs: 10%
Now, thank the Lord, my eGFR is back to 67 (normal @ 68 yrs old)
The keys are to keep the below nutrients low in your foods/diets:
Potassium. <20-30%
Phouspherous <20-30%
Protein. <20-30%
Carbohydrates <20-30%
I did it carefully for 2-3 yrs, the eGFR came back from 43 to 67 the normal range for my age group (68)
So, go find a website which can show your the nutrienta in foods you eat & be careful "any" foods you eat plus medicines your kidney specialist doctor prescribed.
Do both of these (diet & medicine) for 1-2 yrs, you shall see your eGFR comes back to normal range.
Blessings
It's completely understandable to feel scared, especially when the plan changes and you're still waiting for answers. That waiting period can feel really hard. You're not alone in this.
