Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Hello all. I'm a 42 year old male with stage 3 CKD. I've been looking into TRT in order to address a long standing issue I've had with fatigue. My testosterone is at the low end of the normal range; however, a private clinic I have been speaking to are willing to treat me and bring my levels up to t...

Re: post exercise fatigue
Thanks wagolynn. My general health isn't too bad, apart from abnormal readings relating to my CKD (urea, creatinine, uric acid), all else is in the normal range, e.g. blood pressure about 110/75.

post exercise fatigue
Hello everyone, I have stage 3 CKD (creatinine circa 180, eGFR 38) and have been unable to exercise regularly for over 10 years now.

Re: Rhodiola Rosea and anti-depressants

Re: Rhodiola Rosea and anti-depressants
Thanks to everyone that commented. My back pain is definitely kidney related as I also have a slipped disc and the pain I get from these two conditions are distinctly different. I've decided to try some other techniques to increase my energy levels and give my kidneys a break from pharmaceutical/her...

Rhodiola Rosea and anti-depressants
Hello everyone, I'm new to the KPG forum. I'm a 37 year old male in the UK with stage 3 CKD. My kidney function has been relatively stable since diagnosis 10 years ago (creatinine 160-180, eGFR circa 40, high uric acid levels for which I take Febuxostat); however, I often struggle with low moods, lo...
