[QUOTE="kegstore, post: 84469, member: 16530"] Quite a lot of veg! But there's few foods I dislike so I never seem to have a problem. On average I eat around 100g of carb a day, which is not a lot, although that would be astronomical for some :wink:. I [u]have[/u] followed the advice re: protein, but that's a personal choice only you can make from the information you have to hand. Ramipril is primarily aimed at reducing blood pressure, the benefit to kidney health is secondary (although some may argue with that, as it is [u]very[/u] good at protecting the kidneys). Any change in the dosage needs to be carefully monitored for any adverse kidney reaction, normally you'll have a couple of blood tests in the weeks following an increase in dose. I am on 5mg which I was told is an "average" dose, but I have other hypertension meds too. Very tight sugar and pressure control are the keys to prolonging the life of your kidneys now, so rattle your GP's cage as much as you have to! I found the following link which explains quite well the various stages of Chronic Kidney Disease, plus related info: [url]http://www.renal.org/pages/pages/other-info/ckd/ckd-stages.php[/url] Unfortunately the progression of CKD is difficult to map as it's not linear, but I certainly wouldn't be unconcerned about Stage 3.
