Below are graphs of my actual lab results for 4 major areas that help monitor Kidney function.  As you can see, the improvement accelerated in January of 2019 once I was on the full supplement strategy and my blood pressure was well under control.  I had also dropped my BMI from 38 to 35 during that time - it was easy to lose weight based on the diet.  I continued to work on my diet, though there have been extensive challenges along the way.  When I have relaxed my diet (allowing more protein, sugar, and other less kidney-friendly foods) my results have quickly lost gains - but going back onto a strict diet has allowed me to recover and continue to improve over time.
