Anyone diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease?I have been recently diagnosed with early stages of CKD and want to know how the progression goes...is it a long time usually? What are uncomfortable symptoms that undoubtedly will crop up? What can I expect? The CKD came from taking meds for bipolar disorder for the past 10+ years.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 in January. Mine is probably due to high levels of pain killers and NSAIDs for severe back pain. I have no symptoms but I am obviously taking strict measures with my diet (cutting out salt), keeping my diabetes under control and taking extra hypertension meds.
My doctor told me if I controlled my diet well I could have many years without any symptoms, and that if I didn't I could end up on dialysis and awaiting transplant in 5 - 7 years.
If you want to make contact through my profile here, please do.
