Suggest Treatment To Prevent Further Kidney Damage As It Is Hereditary.
I am 64 years old African American. I have no high blood pressure and I am not diabetic, yet my creatinine is always showing 1.24 to 1.56 and my eGFR if Non African Am is 46 and my if African Am is 53. What I have read and look up, I have chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3A. My grandmother died from kidney disease and she was not a diabetic. What should I be doing to prevent further damage? By the way my mother had a kidney remove because of kidney cancer and her brother was on dialysis because of failing kidneys and he was not a diabetic but had high blood pressure. what should I be doing to prevent further damage?

Hello,
As of now the kidneys are well tolerated and only frequent follow up only is needed. Avoid nephrotoxic substance like unwanted use of pain killers.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
