Y’know how they tell you to stay away from meat if you have bad kidneys?

We have an assisted living resident that came to us with Stage 4 kidney disease. He’s been on a carnivore diet with us for about a year.
Today the kidney specialist told him his kidney disease is stage 3B.… pic.twitter.com/sNo1l15TDJ
Note this comment by the American Kidney Fund,
CKD [Chronic Kidney Disease] is broken into 5 stages or categories based on your eGFR value. The 5 stages of CKD refer to how well your kidneys are working. Kidney disease can get worse in time. In the early stages (Stages 1–3), your kidneys are still able to filter waste out of your blood. In the later stages (Stages 4–5), your kidneys must work harder to filter your blood and may stop working altogether.
Did you read that sentence, "In the early stages (Stages 1–3), your kidneys are still able to filter waste out of your blood," as if they're on the precipice of failing; we all know what failing means, right? Death awaits you. But nowhere on their site do they mention the life-saving, life-enhancing value of diet, like a carnivore diet.
The goal at each stage of CKD is to take steps to slow down the damage to your kidneys and keep your kidneys working as long as possible.
Again, the article refrains the gloom and doom.

"Slowdown the damage," as if we're all in a hand basket or on a bob sled to Hell. This kind of fear porn is criminally indifferent at least.
