Right now my kidneys are at 32%, so my nephrologist I call him Dr a he's like a little buddha but he is awesome anyways just wait until they get down to 30 and then I'll probably be on dialysis and to be honest I truly thought my liver would go before my kidneys , Gen X we did things lmao
Yeah we did , they said my kidneys were not good. I told them check it again cause I thought my liver would be the one going wrong
Ha! Gen X really did live life to the fullest — no notes! 😄 It's great that you have an awesome nephrologist in your corner, even if he has a very zen approach to waiting.
On the app front, there's actually a web app that can be added to your phone's home screen, which works pretty similarly! Here's how:

I too truly believed that my liver would go way before my kidneys..It actually floored me when my Dr. Referred me to a nephrologist a couple years ago
I was at esrd/eGFR of 10 and preparing to have the access port placed. In June my Dr stopped my water pills. I went to the ER a couple weeks ago because I had swelling in my left thigh and left upper arm. After running many test I was told by ER Dr that he couldn't explain the swelling. I asked him about my eGFR was told it was a 24. I was ecstatic and forgot all about the swelling. I went to see my kidney Dr and he wanted me to do labs on Friday. My kidney Dr called me today (Monday) and told me GFR is a 22 and I don't have to have the port put in for dialysis just yet. I went from esrd to Stage 4 ckd. That might not be much to some but it was a really big (good thing) for me. My biggest challenge is finding kidney friendly foods. foods. I've learned just about anything in moderation and avoid sodium, potassium and anything that has phos (anything) in it. Trust me all the good stuff has those things in it. Stay away from colored drinks. I only do sprite and 7up and occasionally drink pineapple juice. Do your best and let God do the rest. Praying for you
