The good news? There are ways to detect declining kidney function before it's too late. In this video, I'll share 10 chronic kidney disease symptoms you must not ignore.

Seeing you from french guyane cayenne thank you much merci beaucoup i am diabétiques i fin some time my feet its itchiness so much that i ask my self why
I'm in stage 4 kidney failure my doctors don't care about me at all so hopefully I can do this on my own I have two babies who need me!
I ignored all kinds of obvious symptoms. I was sick beyond belief and didn’t do anything about it for way too long. I’m stage 5 now (end stage) and on dialysis at 40 years old. I’m mostly stable, but don’t feel well a lot. Thank goodness I’m almost listed for a transplant and a great candidate for one. Anyone want to donate a kidney? 😇

My mum passed away in November from kidney failure. She was poorly for a couple of years with several of these symptoms. She refused to go the doctors, she was too scared to go and it cost her her life. DON'T WAIT! Please go to the doctors, I miss my Mum every second of every day & my heart is shattered 💔 Thank you Dr for this fantastic video ❤
Thank you doctor for your info, my eGF was 33 but in few months I changed my diet by the Grace of God am 41. Now I've learnt it shouldn't be below 60. I will continue and by God's Grace I'll be there. Thank you.
Thank you for clearing up the urine bubbles by giving an example of beer foam. Also, thank you for telling us what to ask the doctor regarding the components of the test results. Some of the best information I've heard of.

Kale, and spinach have oxalates which can do a number on your kidneys
Kidney failure runs in my family. My grandmother and father died from it. I used to experience kidney pains in my back and I have peed blood. I also used to have to urinate several times a night. I went to the doctor and they found no issues. My brother has had kidney issues even, but thankfully my issues or any signs have all subsided.

I used to have itchy skin until I started limiting my phosphorus intake to less than 1000mg. I love nuts & and ate lot of them daily until I learned nuts are very high in phosphorus. I also limit my protein to no more than 40-45 grams. Been vegetarian for almost 2 years eating plant based kidney health diet.

Hi Dr Frita Do you think chronic spontaneous urticaria is linked to kidney issues?
Hello Dr. Frita great video! I heard you say a diet high in protein and vegetables and low in carbs is best for kidneys. I keep hearing from other doctors online saying low protein or even no protein is best to avoid additional burden on the kidneys. Then I've seen people online healing stage 4 ckd from eating pure meat with the carnivore diet. It's so confusing! Would moderate protein intake be recommended?

Hi doctor how about liver disease
I have kidney problems. I had passed hypertension, but my blood pressure is amazing right now. It’s been doing good naturally because I changed my diet, but I have kidney stones and they’re not touching them or taking them out. I had eight I’m down to five. I just been trying to clean my body out so I can get rid of these kidney stones. I have acid kidney stones and I can’t, get it surgically but for some reason, they don’t touch it so I’m getting a second opinion cause I don’t know what else to do unless I can dissolve it myself and get it out at least the rest of them always and I’m passing little fragments very little so that would be greatly appreciated
@Dr.Frita can you help me ?
I Have Kidney Disease From Septis Is That Cureable
Hi Dr Frita I recently did a bloody test and was told on phone the test results came back normal. I then requested for the actual results in writing👎. Serum bicarbonate 24 mmol/L 22.00 - 29.00mmol/L eGFRcreat (CKD-EPI)/1.73 m*2 74 mL/min/1.73m*2 Following NICE guidance (NG203) issued August 2021 there is no longer a recommendation to adjust for ethnicity for CKD-EPI EGER. Should i be worried? From England 🏴.

I’ve had the swollen ankles for a few years. I’ve had the weight loss, I was 180lbs and now weigh 106. I have a horrible taste in my mouth but I don’t liken it to a metallic taste, it’s more garlicky, altho it does change. I definitely have memory issues. Ive had all these symptoms for many years but my doc didn’t follow thru with any kind of tests to dx anything. I feel if I had of been dx’ed sooner it wouldn’t of gotten this bad. My gfr is 29%. My doc seems more concerned about getting my bp under control.
One should totally eliminate sugar COMPLETELY, not just “added sugar.” Low carb vegetables only, no starchy vegetables, beans, grains or nuts. Eliminating wheat gluten would help, too. Eat good sources of grass fed meats, eggs,butter, avocado/olive oil, NO vegetable oil, canola, cottonseed, palm oils, or any seed oils.
