    Ian, CKD3 itself is usually little to be concerned about.......as long as whatever your eGFR reading is remains stable and isn't on a downward spiral.  It is true that uncontrolled high blood pressure can have an impact on kidney function if my experience is anything to go by.  If you have "inflammation in your kidneys", then obviously you need expert advice.  It seems that you are being closely monitored, so just sit tight until the biopsy has been carried out and, although I know it's easy to say try not to worry but it's vital the you do relax or your blood pressure will remain high.  Meanwhile, drink plenty of water and avoid salt.  Good luck.

    Totally agree with Mrs O if you get yourself in too much of a state and your BP is too high they will refuse to do the biopsy due to the risk of bleeding that is already there.  This will only prelong everything as they will send you home and make you another appointment and you will have to go through it all again. Think nice thoughts and breath deap breaths smile
