Question

How fast does chronic kidney disease progress?

Question

What is the first sign of kidney problems?

Creatine levels are around 10.05 and urea is at 222. Our doctor mentioned dialysis might be necessary, and we're planning to go ahead with it. Can you advise on the right diet? What types of fruits and vegetables would be suitable? Is it okay for him to eat white rice? I also heard barley water can be beneficial for the kidneys. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.
