Hi everyone! I am an admin for a support group for CKD patients, and am occasionally asked to share information about research projects that need patient participation.
Is there anyone interested in doing an online interview (one hour) discussing your experiences as a CKD patient? It’s legit, super easy and pays $200. I have done many of these, and it’s a great way to give patients a voice as well as make a little money. (You can see my post history - I am a patient, not a scammer or spammer).
If you are interested, comment here so I can message you, or send me a message. I have a couple questions to see if you qualify and then will give you the info to participate if you do!

Adjusting to low sodium diet. Struggling with bread, finding a low sodium or alternative. 2 slices, or a wrap on its own ends up being 1/5+ of my daily limit. Any ideas/suggestions?

The first test was in March. The second test was a few days ago. I’ve not changed my diet. I’ve also been increasing my fluid intake. My diabetes is steady at 6.8 A1c. My RBC was slightly elevated. Anyone have this happen to them? When I started Jardiance, it dropped a tad and then normalized to my baseline.

Curious if anyone has any experience with using chlorthalidone to treat proteinuria? My doctor took me off Farxiga today as it had no impact on the protein spillage after an 8 month trial. In fact my eGFR fell from 88 to 69 during this period. My ACR didn't move and urine protein increased, so she changed my meds to Chlorthalidone and cancelled me taking Hydrochlorothiazide. In addition to this, I am also on Ramipril and Amlodipine for hypertension.
I had high hopes for Farxiga but it looks like it isn't helping me. Just curious if anyone has had positive results on chlorthalidone?
