Learn The Facts About Kidney Disease by Steven Rosansky written for the average reader, offers useful information for patients with very mild Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) to those patients who need to plan for dialysis or kidney transplant. It offers scientifically proven ways to slow progression of Chronic Kidney Disease, including a chapter on a Smart Diet for all Chronic Kidney Disease patients. This diet not only can slow Chronic Kidney Disease progression but can also help patients to live longer and better. It offers the best treatments for the medical problems that can come with a diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease. For most patients this book will alleviate concerns about having Chronic Kidney Disease and for some patients with advanced Chronic Kidney Disease it offers an approach that can delay the start of dialysis for many months or even years in some cases. It explains why low and very low protein diets, promoted by many kidney books for patients, is usually not beneficial and may even be harmful.

WOW....As a patient who has been under the care of 3 (sequencially) different nephrologists over the past 12 years....I've heard more useful information on this vodeo than all my time dealing with my slowly advancing kidney decline... CKD they say. As a 91 year old..it reminds me of the good old days when one would actually have an hour or so, sitting and having a conversation with one's physician..Those wonderful times (if one paid attention) listening to a well trained and informed doctor was invaluable to the maintainance of our personal health. This video (in contrast to the many scammer-type videos on-line) takes me back to those informative hours with my old Docs. Reassuring information..... THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for your support! Look forward to seeing you in one of the upcoming live streams!
I can't watch, the video will play for 15 seconds then stop
Dr Rosansky is just the best,love that man,how i wish he was my kidney dr.
Thank you for reassuring me that me and my doc are on the right track. As a retired paramedic, I am terrified of dialysis.
Glad we can help.
@Janet Chan ask a doctor. Not UA-cam comments.
@@vroomerlifts Hey, it's really important to consult a doctor but at times these UA-camrs are really helpful they might be the last person to give you hope but certainly they are making difference I believe there very few doctors who actually listens to you and gives you confidence

This my 11th year of ckd, diagnosed at ckd 4 and now 3B. I wish I knew about Dr. R sooner. It's been a battle and an uphill journey. Thanks you so much for these talks. I know I made the right choice to decline dialysis 11 years ago. Stay in the fight ❤
Congrats on 11 years no dialysis!

Feeling so empowered ! Thank you Gentlemen! God bless you both!
Thank you!
James, G-D BLESS YOU AND DR. Ros. I almost can't believe WHAT A MIRACLE YOU GUYS ARE INVOLVED IN !!!
I am new here I have been living on 1 kidney for 55 years yes 55 year without any problems. I had a wake up call a few weeks ago when my kidney function test came back with a mild issue. It turn out to be my blood pressure meds. I want to find out how I can make my kidney last as long as possible. I am 65 now and I want to keep my 1 kidney healthy. Already made up my mind there will be no kidney d for me. I have live a good life so keeping my 1 kidney healthy.
James I LO❤️E your energy. You are so positive and encouraging. Thank you for all the information you and the wonderful Doctor are giving.
Thank you!
Wow this is so informative! My husband has an EGFR of 35 right now, facing a biopsy and dr talking about dialysis at EGR of 15, this is so helpful listening. I bought the book. Thank you for sharing this information!
Doctor, you just reassured me. My family doctor just did a blood test on me and said I'm at the limit - creatine is 120 or thereabouts. I'm 80 and feel fine. No protein in last year's test.😊
Yes! This IS the best book ever…highly recommend!
Thank you James and Doc 🙏🏼
Thanks for all the great information. I have been concerned about my kidney function after my doctor said I needed to see a specialist. I will go ahead and see the specialist but at the present time I don’t have any symptoms you were talking about in this presentation so am less concerned. This was a wonderful presentation for my peace of mind.
God blessed you both for all this good information I’m on ckd3a and eating more healthy.
Thank you!
Please tell me your symptoms
Dear James, I've been enjoying your videos for a long time.The best of all is listening this video with Dr Rosansky. He is a real genius and realistic. Thank you both ❤
I am new to all of this. I need to read up on all of these numbers and what they mean. My boyfriend, 51, is on dialysis right now. He has type 2 diabetes. My doctor just told me my numbers are off. I'm having some symptoms. I'm 50 and have had diabetes for 35 years. I had a triple bypass 2 years ago. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hypothyroidism, glaucoma. I sure don't need anything else! I going to get this book.
Thank you so much,I am grateful I found this vlog
Now you give me lot of hopes
I was so depressed people here around me told me I'm about to die because of my creatinine 1.8
Thank you Doc for your great explanation. So much enlightened😊
Hello Dr. James I am 74 next week. My score was 1.60, and dropped with my last blood test which was in February, now it's 1.40. ceatein rate. I once was told I am at 50 now
Hi congratulations:) what was your lifestyle change ?
Thanks a lot in this podcast..we learn a lot..
Glad to hear that! Thanks for your support!
Hi can u tell how to reduce edema in ckd patients
Lessen your sodium intake
Godbless u both
James n doc Ros
Thank you! We appreciate that.
I'm 32 and I was diagnosed with CKD about a year and a half ago. Went to the doctor in April 21 everything was fine. Went back six months later high creatinine and decrease eGFR.
So what have you been upto now man?? You okay?
Thanks you both, God bless
Our pleasure!
Just had my surgery 2 days ago for catheter for PD . My GFR is @5. Will be starting dialysis next week .
I hope all is well with you.
I’ve been diagnosed with stage 1 CKD & Protuneria .. Im in a large state of depression because of this . I’ve also been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My life is done for
No….you are not “done for!” God is good, become a kidney warrior! Come on..don’t have a defeatist attitude. We will all die one day. But let’s live life to the fullest!!!!
Keto reversed my husbands T2 diabetes and lowered his bp. He just quit a 50 yr+ heavy smoking habit. It has helped with energy level and better moods as well. Give it a try for 90 days. Follow Dr Ken Berry and Dr Fung. I disagree with this man’s A1c numbers and taking statins (big no for us).
No absolutely not... at stage 1 you can beat this!!!! Listen my dad is diabetic type 2 and also had proteinuria - with diet changes - mostly plant based - NO salt and NO sugar - within 3 months he has NO protein in his urine and blood sugar normal! You can do this - dad is CKD stage 4. You are lucky to have thus diagnosed early- trust me. You can make this better with lifestyle changes 🙏🙏
The good doctor recommended keeping A1c in the 7 or 8s because he's afraid of patients getting hypos. (Blood sugar dropping to low). I'm not a doctor but I've watched a lot of the beat diabetes channel. Dennis Pollock on that channel recommends type 2s get their A1c in the 5s or low 5s. You could test your blood sugar with a CGM to watch out for hypos. It's just another school of thought. Then you wouldn't have to worry about getting high blood sugar spikes if you're testing before and after meals. This way you would learn the foods that cause the spikes. Then the weight would come off easier and there would be many other benefits. Kidney disease as I have heard it is often caused by high blood sugar. I think there are many doctors that agree with Mr. Pollock on this. However again I'm not a doctor so don't quote me on this.
Best book ever
Hello sir..first of all thank you for creating such videos..can you make a video related on ckd babies?..their food etc..
Hi James, thanks so much for your videos. When is your next livestream with Dr. Rosansky? I'm wondering why my husband's eGFR suddenly went down to 36 after 10 years of being from 48 to 59...mostly around 50 the past couple of years. He did not take pain relievers.
We do one a month and post the schedule on the Dadvice TV facebook page. We usually plan them about 2 weeks in advance. I recently had to move states and things slowed down, but I plan to do live shows more often this summer.
I am a diabetic and ckd stage 4. I read that epoetin causes strokes in African Americans. Can you speak on this?
Great video I thank you both .Six months ago my dr put me on farxiga to help me with the protein in my urine . And it did the trick.
Fantastic! Reducing protein in the urine is key to avoiding kidney failure!
Wow.. I was on farxiga but my numbers dropped.. I’m so confused on what what to do.

Hi James, I like radishes, could you please tell me how you cook them in your Air Fryer? Thank You
What about the artificial kidney being developed?
Great question! I plan to do another interview soon on it to give everyone an update. Progress continues, and they are still on track to release version 1 around 2030. The tech they have developed and continue to work on will soon start helping home dialysis patients.
James what is the name of Dr Ros’s book I want to read it n I love ur podcast keep up the good work ❤️
Medecine = BUSINESS
Doctors = Businessman.
@12:31 thank you!! “ Look at the data” I can’t tell you how many times doctors don’t even review prior labs don’t even read the chart before examining a patient. The American healthcare system is insane. It’s like nobody cares anymore about anybody else. They are quick to send you for several unnecessary test that will actually make you give me function worse it’s crazy!!!
You are correct! No One Cares!! Research on your own. That’s exactly what I had to do. Plant based diet if you want to avoid dialysis and live without that damn machine!
Where can I get your book at? What is the name of your book? I would like to have a copy. Thank you both for a good program. ❤
What if you have anemia, weight loss, diabetes and have had kidney failure twice? I have lost all of my muscle mass. My dr. doesn't seem to be worried about it but I am. The lab said I was a 3b.
Is it possible to increase my son"s eGfr with proper diet. He is at 3 now with very high creatinine and urea? Please advise me
With that low,of a eGFR he needs dialysis and a diet designed for dialysis. Talk to his doctor about what should be done.
I am 61 yrs old with 4th stage ckd , high blood pressure and dieanes my gfr is 20,
Is it ok to eat salmon?
Why do Dr's. ignore dehydration and malabsorbtion in people with ileostomies? Seemingly scare people and tell them they have ckd and may need dialysis soon. Kidneys need water to work. Let's address diet and changes to increase absorption of water and nutrition
Wow I just went through the same thing efr which showed me at stage 3a. Actually had a renal scan 4 weeks later shows me at stage 5 with a number at 13.
Thank you doc. What's the title of the book you mentioned?
Hello sir, my husband suffering from high blood pressure 240/180 since last two years & currently creatinine 2.9 .... Right now started bottle gourd juice on morning empty stomach & now seen the results blood pressure dropping to 160 in the morning & 190 at night....can u suggest what next we hv to do...to improve current 26GFR
Can a patient stop dialysis after 6 months and manage ckd with medication and lifestyle change? Egfr is 19
I wish I could answer this, but only your doctor can answer this. Part of the problem is that your GFR on dialysis is based on the dialysis treatment. That said, one requirement to get off dialysis is that you still produce urine. So if you still make urine, check with your doctor and see if you can plan to move off dialysis. Good luck - while rare, I have seen people get off dialysis.
We are interested in what the Dr has to say. Why does the host speak incessantly when he cannot contribute anything towards this subject. A good host can ask good questions and leave the talking to the expert.
What does it mean when you void urine that is form?
My BUN is elevated. Does that mean I have to much protien in my blood
I have a fully functioning kidney but high creatnine. Can anyone explain how this happens? I was on keto for a short time.
Okay doctors are stupid! If you use creatine powder . Your going to have false high readings! Lol 😂most of the time
Next time needs more volume.
I am GFR 5! At 26 years old I don’t want dialysis and avoiding it with diet and medication!
I wish you all the best! Make sure to work with your doctors to keep your blood pressure in check - that is critical. A renal dietitian can be helpful in ensuring you are getting the right kids and amounts of nutrients in your diet.
Hi. It's a year later. Where are your gfr levels at now ?
@Kikiconsilience how are you feeling? Did you do dialysis? If not what did you do? Hope you are feeling better.
I'm 75 and stage 4. I took Ibuprofen 800 for a couple of weeks for a bad fall and my egfr decreased to 17 and my potassium was 307 down from 341. I have gone on a low sodium diet and lost 5 pounds. I do a dipstick daily with 14 measurements. My protein is in the lowest range and so is my creatinine. Do you think I will have a better egfr and protein in the urine result in my next test? I am also drinking as much as I can but had to take furosimide one day for swelling of legs. Thanks. Linda
@Linda Maidani please don't take ibuorophen, check with your Dr maybe he can suggest something.
@lindamaidani5053 did you get new labs? Did they improve since stopping the ibuprofen? Good luck.
Hello Dr. James, what will happen if the creatinine is high?
What if you are on dialysis already
Hey James, I wanna ask when first diagnosed ur ultrasound too showed mildly raised cortical echotexture as of Ckd patients?????
A doctor mixed an antibiotic with 50,000 of vit D...AND BURNED OUT MY KIDNEYS. Now I'm on dylisis...
What are the two values?
I'm 86. Diagnosed 3 years ago. My last appt. was last December & I've maintained my labs pretty well, but now, my Neph doesn't want to see me again until next December. Isn't that way too long a wait???
It depends on where your kidneys are at, but I would feel more comfortable getting labs done in 6 months just to catch any issues shortly after they start. If you have no other issues (no blood or protein in your urine), then chances are you are stable and a year may be fine...but I like the peace of mind 6 months would bring.
If that is you in your profile pic, you look amazing for age 86!

Hi ! I have a question. My dad is at Stage 5 w/ 8% of his kidney function. He has High BP, Edema, and anemia. What should he be eating to begin reversal. He does have protein in his urine. Please advise. I just started looking at your channel and there is so much to go through. I appreciate you!!
An update : he is currently in the hospital . His gfr dropped to 6 . He was feeling nauseous , short of breath, his head was “banging” he felt his pulse in his head . So he is now on emergency dialysis. This morning was his second treatment. His gfr is now 9%. His sugar is generally staying in the 200’s. His blood pressure has stabilized. So now my question is can we get him off of dialysis ?
Try cutting out sugar, dairy, and salt (opt for pink salt). Eat berries including red seeded grapes and melons. I was the same as your father, I started doing this along with some herbs and so far I'm seeing positive results (I'm one month in). All the best for your father.
@@JahlaBlessed ah gratitude ! I’m glad to hear of your positive results !! Do you mind sharing which herbs you are using ? Are you currently on dialysis ?
@anacatarina5765 I'm not currently on dialysis. I was scheduled for surgery to insert the catheter next week, but Dr. agreed to delay due to my process. I started taking a couple herbal tonics a few weeks ago that are prepared my a health store. Look up adrenal support, this is something that I didn't know about until going to the herbalist, the Dr's never mentioned this to me and addressing it has made a big difference. I was also in hospital last month with low egfr (7), extremely hbp, nausea, vomiting, headaches. Starting to feel better now due to adjusted meds, diet change I explained before, and yoga stretches that are focused on kidney support. Last week egfr was 9. I'm praying it continues to climb up 🙏🏾
@@JahlaBlessed Thank you so much. God Bless you. We are praying for the same results for our father. I will look up what you just told me to. I pray for your continued improvement. Keep us posted as I will do the same.
Im 38 with a egfr of 7 and creatinine of 800. I never have symptoms But they started me on dialysis over 2 weeks ago . since then I improved my diet and but I’m feeling like I’m ready for dialysis yet. Can i improve things without it ? Can I stable these levels for 20 years ?
Each person is unique, so there is no 1 answer. While rare, I've seen people on dialysis for 6 months that improve enough to come off it. Those people continue to produce urine and their kidneys were less damaged than their labs appeared to show. Be proactive with your health care team - they will be able to tell how you are doing and if you may be able to improve.
A plant based diet is much easier on kidneys. You can absolutely get enough protein on this diet. You’ve got to research this way of eating, eat lower potassium veggies, no added salt, low phosphorus, healthy fat. It’s working for my husband to keep him stable, this & God
Half way through the video and NO mention of what to actually do
I'm diabetic and 49 years old.

The diet changes for those on dialysis. Give your doctor or dialysis center a call and let them know how he is doing and ask to speak to a renal dietitian to help with diet.
Thank you for the reply, yes of course it was the renal dietician that gave me list of food to give but it contain alot of protein and carbohydrates.

Creatinine in urine is 33mg, albumin to urine ratio is 2.1 ml and albumin/to creatine ratio is 64. I asked the dr if there’s need to be concern and she said it will take years to really damaged my kidney. I’m not to keen abt her answer. I learned and uunderstand more the explanation on ur channel.

What is a creatinine level that would start to cause someone to be concerned? Thanks
I believe most lab values say anything above 1.3 is out of range.
@@johnseeker9520 thanks. I was wondering if 1.47 was something to be concerned about
@Rob Ju obviously, I don't know your situation but if it were me I would investigate further for sure. Get a urinalysis to check for protein in urine, check bun levels, another blood test to recheck creatinine levels. I wouldn't panic in your situation but that is evidence you need to investigate further in my opinion.
what about PKD? inherited
Been seeing a nephrologist for 2 years. I have stage 4 CKD. The doctor NEVER told me about changing my diet. Just to cut out my arthritis medicine.
Too many only turn to diet AFTER you start dialysis....which is too late to make a difference. The sooner you start, the more you can do to delay needing dialysis.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS THE WAY MEDICINE IS "PRACTISED"
Chronic conspitation
I have no other health issues.. now doctor wants me to have transplant.
How to normal creatine doc my creatine is 106
