    Hi, sorry i can't answer this but I'm very interested in others experiences too.

    I have iga nephropathy with a gfr of somewhere between 20 and 23.

    When diagnosed 2 months ago my blood pressure and proteinuria was through the roof but is now in normal range with medication.

    Sorry but there is no time scale. I have been ckd stage 4/5 for 13 years and been on the kidney/pancreas tranplant list for seven years. My egfr fluctuates between 14 and 21. I am a believer in pma ( positive mental attitude). I am still working (building power stations and oil rigs)ahd I believe in pushing myself. Its hard but all I can say is keep going and dont give in.
