Hi. I'm 21 years. I am hypertension patient for three years and I've CKD. My doctor has suggested to reduce the intake of potassium in my diet. I want to know, is it possible for everything to get reversed and I'm very afraid that I might need dialysis.For how long can I avoid dialysis? What should be my diet? And what else I need to do to lower the risk of CKD?
Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern. I must be able to see your last reports of blood creatinine, sugar, uric acid, sodium, potassium, ultrasound scan, urine micro-albumin, 24 hours urine protein, GFR, or creatinine clearance, and kidney biopsy, if done. You can send these reports to me as a direct question, and i shall be able to give you an expert opinion. Avoiding potassium rich foods is a must. Your B.P. must always be in control. Never miss the medication. Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
