We’ve covered: - how much protein is right for you - what changes with kidney disease / diabetes - common mistakes (too much vs too little) - practical food examples Let’s make this practical Comment below: πŸ‘‰ How much protein you take in a day πŸ‘‰ Your eGFR (if you know it) We’ll help you understand if it’s: - too much - too little - or just right Small changes in protein intake can make a big difference β€” let’s get it right πŸ‘

My apologies, I could not join that day. Very good class. Sir, one question was missing like how to balance phosphorus with protein intake ? Most Protein sources are rich in phosphorus. Excessive phosphorus in ckd weaken bones and lead to calcification of arteries over period of time. PTG gets active adding to lots of complications. Literally every protein sources except egg whites has high phosphorus.

@Yogesh Gopale yours is near normal. At 1.3 in 2011, I was never told that 15 yrs down the line I would be vulnerable on Kidneys. You are lucky to know that you have this problem at 1.17. Take care πŸ‘
Do's and don'ts to help slow down progression of CKD
Based on my personal experience and insights gathered from @Arjun Sabharwal , health guides, and various webinars, here are some important do’s and don’ts to help slow down the progression of CKD: Do’s & Don’ts: 1. Avoid frequent use of painkillers, especially NSAIDs 2. Stay away from unverified herbal supplements, particularly those that may contain heavy metals 3. Limit salt intake in your daily diet 4. Focus on lifestyle changes β€” balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep 5. Prevent severe dehydration; stay well hydrated as advised by your doctor 6. Maintain appropriate protein intake as per medical guidance 7. Take prescribed medications consistently, in the right doses and at the right time 8. Keep diabetes and blood pressure under strict control 9. Track your key health parameters over time and avoid panicking over a single fluctuation These are practical steps that can make a meaningful difference over time. What has worked for you? Would love to hear your learnings and experiences β€” please share in the comments.

Never took any pain killer in life, No high blood pressure, No diabetes, likely no auto immune disease still have Kidney issues. This means any Kidney problem crossing over 3 months is just CKD ( a vague term). It is very frustrating to see that Medical community has made CKD worse than many Cancers. Even Liver Disease has some genuine treatment.

@Yogesh Gopale based on dipstick no, but based on UPCR, yes it is 0.347 in ratio ( but inflated in my case), urine protein spot is 12 mgdl (0-15 ) range and but urine creatinine is 34.6 mgdl. Creatinine last March 2.0, Egfr 42-43 may be I never did UACR test, but my Serum Albumin is 4.5-4.9 mgdl which is fine, and I don't consume too much of protein, I am on protein restricted diet ( most Protein from moongdal, or Lentils but no animal source, no Dairy paneer etc). But weird thing in my case most likely is that I am losing more non-Albumin protein pointing to Tubular disease rather than Glomerular disease. My case is like Obstructive Nephropathy due to UMN bladder affecting Kidneys silently over yrs. Till Nov 2025, I didn't knew I had CKD. And only time I had blood test was in 2011 in my first Semester during College days like 14+ yrs back. In 2011, it was suggested by one top Neurologist in the country as he wanted to get to the cause of my Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury that I had since April 2010. It is still undiagnosed. My creatinine in that test was 1.3, my weight was 66 kg in 2011, age 18+ , I never did any KFT for 14 yrs because my Neurologist never told me. In October 2025, I had sudden anxiety, my parameters like Calcium, Iron, everything was all over the place. I went to same top Neurologist, head of Neurology Department at Manipal Dwarka . Because in 2011 I was told by him that my Neuro problem will progress with time. He was surprised seeing me walk independently because he had not thought I would do that 15 yrs later. Still he kept on investigating me for Neuro disease progression. I just went to AIIMS, they asked for blood test. My creatinine was 2.2 at the point of time, Hb was 10. Lipid profile was normal, but Calcium was 6.5, Vit D3 was 4.23 ngdl, ultra low. Urea was 47, Uric Acid was 8.5, Many parameters were over the place. I decided to move to Neuro Medanta, they still kept on searching for progression of my Neuro problem but in the end the Young Neuro doctor there asked me to be referred to Nephrology, and Hematology. I would say thanks to "AI", I got the idea something is with Kidney. I hard pressed with questions to Neuro Doctor in Medanta. He decided I should go to Nephro for suggestion.

The best video I found. I want to know more about Peptides ( Mots C, BPC 157, SS 31 etc .....), There has been lots of claims and counter claims wrt them. Like some of these are under investigation for anti-fibrotic effect.
New update in kidney treatment
A drug called sparsentan has now received FDA approval for FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis). This is important because FSGS is a condition where patients often have significant protein leak, and treatment options have been limited. Sparsentan works by targeting pathways involved in proteinuria reduction, and studies have shown it can help reduce protein leak in selected patients. But this is important ⚠️ Sparsentan (FSGS) β€” who is it for? Key cut-offs (from trials / approval context) - eGFR: generally β‰₯ 30 mL/min/1.73 mΒ² - Proteinuria: significant protein leak (often UPCR β‰₯ 1.5 g/g) - Diagnosis: biopsy-proven primary FSGS (not secondary causes) What this means for you It’s a positive step forward in kidney care. But more importantly:Understanding your own reports (protein, eGFR, diagnosis) matters before thinking about treatments like this. New treatments are coming β€” which is good. But the basics still matter: - controlling BP - reducing protein leak - staying consistent Comment below - what do you think?

Sir, any upcoming treatment for existing damage to the Kidney ? All these treatments are for Hypertensive, Auto immune disease, Diabetes etc What about other cases not affected by Auto immune, Diabetes, Hypertension?. Why the focus is not to treat the already present damage in Kidneys?
