Understanding the stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most powerful steps you can take to protect your kidney health. 🧠🩺 CKD progresses in stages based on your eGFR (kidney filtration rate) — and each stage requires different strategies to slow damage, protect function, and avoid complications. Many people don’t realize kidney disease can progress silently until later stages, which is why monitoring labs, controlling blood pressure, managing diabetes, and following a kidney-fr

The relationship between inflammation and chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression continues to strengthen. Results from the FLOW and SELECT trials support the concept that GLP‑1 receptor agonists like semaglutide may have kidney and cardiovascular benefits partly driven by anti‑inflammatory effects—independent of weight or glucose control. As Vlado Perkovic noted, the roughly 40% reduction in CRP observed in FLOW reinforces inflammation as a meaningful and potentially modifiable aspect of CKD m

Can you literally “walk off” kidney damage? 🏃‍♂️ 💨 Not exactly, but movement is one of the most underrated tools in your kidney-protection toolkit! This is Part 5 of my Daily Kidney Protection series! Today we are covering Step 4: Exercise regularly. When you exercise, you improve your cardiovascular health, which directly impacts the tiny blood vessels in your kidneys. Better blood flow = better filtration. Plus, regular movement helps control the “Silent Killers” we talked about in Part 3: B

🧪 Kidney Disease Labs Explained — BONUS Q&A These are some of the most frequently asked kidney disease and dialysis lab questions I see — so let’s clear them up 👇 🩸 Is eGFR the same as creatinine? No. Creatinine is a blood waste product. eGFR is a calculated estimate that uses creatinine plus age, sex, and sometimes cystatin C to estimate kidney filtration and function. 🧪 Can you have kidney disease with a normal eGFR? Yes. An elevated uACR (protein in urine) can signal early kidney damage e
