10. Fever

Did this give you the chills? Are you experiencing this? Be aware that kidney disease can be a serious problem for most people, and they aren’t able to recognize it that easily.

So you should probably go and check your health with your doctor before it becomes a serious problem!

    Look at Davita.org or Davita.com for advice about even certain foods in the DASH diet that may have too much potasium, phosphorus, sodium, or the wrong kinds of protein not easy on the kidneys. I had to modify my diet alot, dropping almonds, walnuts, certain nut milks, avocados, bananas, raisins, and lots of things that cause too much potasium and phosphorus like even wheat bread. I’m in stage 3b taking Farziga.
