What stage is your kidney disease?

This helps us match you with the right renal health coach.

You know this moment

The diagnosis printout.
The 14-page restriction list.
The 2 a.m. Google spiral.

Your nephrologist gave you the diagnosis in seven minutes. The dietitian appointment is six weeks away. Meanwhile, you're standing in the grocery store holding a can of soup, terrified of the sodium number, and wondering if every meal is quietly making things worse.

You're not being dramatic. This is genuinely hard — and most CKD patients are handed a condition that requires nutritionist-level knowledge with zero nutritionist-level support.

"Will I damage my kidneys if I drink too much water?"

Fluid Tracker answers this.

"Can I eat this? What about the phosphorus additives?"

Meal Scanner answers this.

"Am I getting worse? Is my GFR declining faster now?"

GFR Trend Graph answers this.

“Nobody told me what I could eat. They just told me what I couldn't.”

— Margaret T., Stage 3 CKD · Nephra patient since 2024

Feature 01 · Fluid Tracker

“Will I damage my
kidneys if I drink too much?”

Your renal health coach sets your personal daily fluid limit based on your GFR stage, urine output, and current medications. Nephra tracks every cup — tea, soup broth, ice cream — and shows you exactly where you stand before your next sip.

  • Counts hidden fluids: soups, gelatin, ice
  • Morning limit reminder with gentle nudge
  • Weekly fluid trend sent to your care team

Feature 02 · Meal Scanner

“Can I eat this?”

Photograph your plate or scan a barcode. Nephra cross-references your GFR stage, current medications, and daily phosphorus budget to give you a clear answer in seconds — not a generic food list.

Why phosphate additives matter

Inorganic phosphorus in processed food additives is absorbed nearly 100% — far more than natural food phosphorus. Most patients don't know this. Your scanner flags it automatically.

  • Barcode scan + photo analysis
  • Flags phosphate additives by ingredient name
  • Personalised to your current GFR stage

Feature 03 · GFR Trend Graph

“Am I getting worse?”

Your GFR number alone means nothing without trend context. Nephra plots your lab results over time and lets you see whether you're stable, improving, or declining — with your coach's annotation at every data point.

What “stable” looks like

A GFR fluctuating between 40–44 over 6 months is stable. Many Stage 3 patients remain at this level for years with proper diet management. Your graph shows you this — not just the latest number.

  • Import labs from your nephrologist directly
  • Coach annotations at every data point
  • Colour zones: stable, declining, improving

Coach note · Feb 2026

Your GFR has stayed within a 3-point range for 6 months. This is stability. Continue current phosphorus limits.

Patient Stories

From panic to comprehension
to control.

I was diagnosed Stage 3 in October. By November I had a meal plan that actually made sense. For the first time I felt like someone was paying attention to my specific numbers, not just handing me a pamphlet.

My husband was terrified after his diagnosis. I found Nephra at 2 a.m. searching "what can my husband eat with Stage 4 CKD." The coach called us together. That mattered.

I was told dialysis was coming in 18 months. My GFR has been stable for a year. I'm not saying Nephra stopped it — but the diet changes and knowing my numbers changed everything.
