Autoimmune disease has gifted me Stage 2 CKD... proteinuria and hypertension being major symptoms when it’s active. BP meds retain protein in the bloodstream where it belongs so even if my blood pressure is fine I have to take them. Like with a lot of autoimmune disease you pick and choose which risk factor you prefer to deal with, you don’t get a win-win choice.

Autoimmune disease has cost me as well. While I’m doing fine now, periodic blood tests are required to make sure that my liver and kidneys are functioning correctly.

Best of health to you!

Vigilance…..
