Newly diagnosed

Hello I’ve just joined this group because I have just been diagnosed with CKD 3a. I’ve had to send off for diet and information regarding this desease. I’m quite concerned that I’ve just been left to my own devices. I do have another blood test before the end of Feb. I know 3a can classed as quite mild but I don’t want to progress to 4/5 and am changing my diet already. I have high blood pressure for 25 years now and my mother had the same thing but I don’t want to progress down a slippery slope. Has anyone managed to slow the progression by diet and exercise?

Thanks

The correct diet avoiding too much potassium is paramount. Exercise is aways good. it will stop the decline being too rapid I suspect. I am stage 4.
