How we can keep our kidney healthy??? what vitamin we can take??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vitamins will not: help. The best way to keep kidneys healthy is to stay well hydrated and to avoid drugs like advil or aleve, (naproxen)etc. repetitively(ok to take once in a while)

Good evening doctors. Should a 63 year-old male with kidney issues (serum creatinine 1.49 now, 1.33 previously) with low Vitamin D (26 now, 22 previously) take Vitamin D3? One of my doctors told me yes and one told me that there is no reason to do so?

PTH 144 (double the max normal), calcium within higher side of normal (9.8), vitamin D is 54 (normal). I take 800 mg calcium 2x a day and 4000 is vit D 1x per day. Any cause for concern of the double PTH range? history of kidney stones & fatigue?
