Usually you access your care team by seeing your GP. He/she will notify the nephrologist (you should have one) and Cardio (if you have heart problems). It's important to know that if you have diabetes it can progress to CKD, and if you have CKD it can progress to heart failure. Best to get ahead of the game ASAP. It is possible to improve the situation or even prevent that progression. But you must do your research and question your doctors about possible treatments. Also be very careful concerning supplements as some directly affect CKD for the worse.
I have been living with CKD for almost 20 years now and have been able to bounce between stage 3A and 3B until just lately when I am now in stage 4. But even that may be temporarily since eGFR fell in Jan/26 to 15 from 40, due to overhydration in my lungs and heart (brought on, I believe, by shingles). It has gone back up to 22 as of late. I'm hoping it will rise even more as I recover more more.
I am feeling very good these last few days, so hopefully I am getting back to 'normal'.
