How often should a person re-check his ckd numbers (stage he's in) per year? is there something one can buy to track the #s at home? thank you!

Status of CKD: If a person has CKD stage 3 or higher, that person should be seen by a nephrologist (n) every 3 months to monitor the person's status and to see if any new issues come up that need to be dealt with. If the patient has CKD class 1 or 2 patients can be seen every 6 months. Blood and urine samples are used to track progression of CKD and only a physician can order them. See a n for good care.

Greetings Doctor, I have been trying to keep track of my body mass and height, and for the past years, my height has always stayed the same at 167cm. I'm a 23 years Male, and my body mass is 65kg. Are these numbers normal for a 23 year old Male?
Do I need a order? Does one need an order for labs, such as a cbc? Not for any reason other than thinking it would be neat to track 4 times a year.
