Hi, welcome to HCM.
Looking to your history, I as a nephrologist understand your concern.
You have CKD stage 3.
It requires salt restriction, protein intake -0.6 to 0.8gm/kg/day, water intake according to urine output and calories as per your activity level.
Kindly take dietitian's opinion.
Check s.calcium , phosphorus and uric acid level.
Consult your nephrologist or you can communicate with me also with above reports
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. tc.
Dr Jay Patel.
