Most doctors will give you an accurate description and a prognosis of what you can expect. You will learn why a low-protein diet is recommended and how you can slow down the progression of kidney disease. However, doctors will rarely tell you that kidney disease can be reversed, regardless of which stage it is currently in.

A quick blood test will easily determine if you have chronic kidney disease and which of the five CKD stages you are in.
It is vital that you catch kidney disease on time. If you are in stage 2 or 3 there is a high hope of reversal.
