Suggest Treatment For Chronic Kidney Disease
I have been diagnosed with CKD stage 3b, and also advised that I had two cysts on one kidney, and an internal septated cyst on the other kidney. Should a biopsy be performed. My clinicians seem unworried, but I use the VA for treatment, and my confidence is lacking

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i hope you know that both kidney functions must be very poor, to be diagnosed as CKD-3b.
If you can update me regarding your latest kidney function test reports (urea, creatinine), with the ultrasound/ MRI, and other reports (Hb,Na,K,uric acid, urine protein and micro-alb,etc), i can give you expert advice, regarding further management.
Kindly clarify if you meant Veterans' affairs by VA.
You can send the question in my name here, with the reports.
Wish you well.
