Do this now

  • Build a questions list before appointments.
  • Track BP, hydration, and key symptoms consistently.
  • Use trusted kidney-focused sources only.

Do not assume

  • Other patients’ treatment stories apply directly to your case.
  • Every new study changes today’s clinical decision.
  • Symptom severity alone predicts progression speed.
