I also have CKD but I am under the care of a nephrologist. I believe I have it from my excessive use of NSAIDS before I knew better. I use Dilaudid for pain relief.. No contrast for MRIs.. And I personally keep tabs on my blood work. I recently had surgery and the surgeon ordered meds that I would not take. He looked at my labs and they are near normal do everything looks great NOW. But in 2012 they were lousy. Surgeons just look at the recent tests. You know your body. Stand up for what you feel is right.
