My US showed my kidneys look fine, which is great! We are waiting for the UTI to clear up to test my kidney function. Ironically the kidney diet is basically the LE diet! 0.8kg per body weight in kgs., low fat, no red meat, limit lean white meat, vegetarian protein sources are best, limit chocolate, sherbet in place of ice cream, skim milk or non-dairy milks, fruit and veggies, start off with multigrain carbs but may need to switch to white carbs (potatoes, rice, and white pasta) if I get to stage 3. No caffeine and only 1 3-5oz glass of alcohol daily.
My cousin, who is 6mo younger than me, was diagnosed with kidney disease after her second child. While pregnant with her third child, her kidneys failed, she was in a coma for 5 days, and her son was delivered via an emergency C-section at 32 weeks. I could of course have more children but it's hard to say how my kidneys could handle another pregnancy.

How do you know when you are done?
Thank you! Ironically, I've been taking 2000IU since my miscarriage last October and took 5000IU through my pregnancy. Once DS3 was born, I bumped it up to 6,000IU and what is in my prenatal 800IU daily. Since I had been taking the proper amount, they are concerned my kidneys aren't functioning properly. My Vitamin D level was 4! They put me on 50,000IU bio available D3 once a week since I'm nursing. They wanted to do 50,000 2-3 times a week but that is not safe for breastfeeding. They said my UTI is from my vitamin d level being so low. So far my UTI isn't getting better and my kidney pain is still pretty bad. They will check my kidney levels and glomerular filtration rate once my infection clears up.

Holy crap that's low vitD, and I can see why you are concerned after your cousin's experience. A 5 day coma is major. I'm so glad they caught this now and not later. I wonder if all your time on the LE had a preventative effect?
All this talk off low vitD reminds me I really need to get mine checked.
