esterday I blogged about my Albumin lab result being in the toilet. From my July 2024 labs, my Cholesterol was at 218 where the goal is less than 200. For the same labs, my Triglycerides were 191 where the goal is less than 150. As a side, my Creatinine for the current lab was 8.20 which maps to an eGFR of 6 which is par for the course for someone on dialysis.
So here’s the deal as I see it. My wife and are are concentrating on bringing Albumin up with diet. The diet to do this also tends to reduce Cholesterol and Triglycerides resulting in a win-win combination. We are going to start working more salmon, tofu, smear case, and such foods into our diet.
I have a meeting with my dialysis team this coming Friday during which I’m certain I will first, get raked over the coals, and second, receive firm guidance as to what steps to take. Stand by for action.
