Recently diagnosed with CKD stage 3. I have questions. CKD or AKI?
Im 31 and never had a kidney issue before.This year in February I had a urethral stricture that caused hydronephrosis which basically gave me severe kidney problems. It was dealt with via surgery and catheter and about 3 weeks after in March I was diagnosed with CKD stage 3 after the surgeon who was a urologist said it might have been an AKI which im still hoping it is. My numbers are as follows...
Sodium:141
Potassium: 4.3
Chloride: 104
C02: 20
Glucose: 101
BUN:21
Creatinine: 1.88
Calcium: 9.4
EFGR: 48
Phosphorous serum: 3.6
Albumin: 4.4
Which according to my Nephrologist are much much better than my previous numbers before surgery in which my Creatinine was 2.5. Is this really CDK stage 3? Or could it still realistically be an AKI? This has caused me profound anguish and despair and I dont really see myself having a good life worth living with this condition. I have become severely depressed and cant really bring myself to feel much joy in most things for about a month now and dont see a point in continuing if this cant be fixed. Im 31 and supposed to be worrying about work and building a life. I never smoked or was a heavy drinker and one stricture caused this? How can I further improve these numbers? Am i able to get a transplant preemptively before dialysis? Im still waiting for my next checkup in May but I really want to go back and get my numbers looked at again.
