A member asked:

I've have stage 3c kidney disease (egfr 37). i find information online confusing about nutrition and it is impossible to get an appt. with one in my area. can you please tell me how many ounces of protein/day is okay for me at 220 pounds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hopefully you are under care of a nephrologist and she/he should be able to advise you about the diet taking into consideration his findings including the labs. The rest of us can only guess. . Do not trust online information as it it is confusing and mostly wrong. Good luck
