@PlantBasrdKidneyHealth ❤I really appreciate all your video’s. You have so much wisdom and I’m enjoying learning and educating myself. I have a spill of protein but dr said not to concerning. Can you tell me how to help myself.

Thank you for the information given.
Can I inquire whether we can eat eggs, salmon fish and chicken if one got auto immune?

Hi I have lupus nephritis, I’ve been living with it for 20 years, as time goes on it worsens. I have protein in the urine that goes up & down. My Dr doesn’t want to do a biopsy because I’m on warfarin. My kidney function is good, the only problem is protein in the urine 2+. Should I be concerned about not doing a biopsy?

What type of diet would help for people with lupus nephritis?

Vitamin D. Is elevated calcifediol a renal toxin OR is it the toxic stress in the renal conversion of it to calcitriol OR is it the calcitriol itself resulting renal calification? The local calcitriol concentration is highest where it is made (especially) and immediately downstream and so that is where calification could be the most extreme unless evolution accounted for it. BTW, where in the kidneys is the conversion done? Thanks.

I recently got diagnosed with class IV lupus nephritis...what are the chances that it gets reversed to class III

What word did he say at 5:28? If a person has this in their urine, they need a biopsy of kidney. The word is distorted in the microphone.
