The patient has a history of diabetes and hypertension, and her recent tests show creatinine of 5 mg/dL and blood urea of 165 mg/dL, suggesting possible end stage renal disease. While we plan to consult a nephrologist, could you please advise on dietary interventions that may help manage her blood profile and support kidney function?

My father is at CKD stage 5. His creatinine level is 8.5. There is no swelling or urination problem. His hemoglobin is 12. He has been diabetic for the past 26 years and is 50 years old. He also has high blood pressure. The doctor has told us that his kidney has failed due to diabetes. Is there any hope for him except dialysis or a kidney transplant?

Can a kidney regain its function after hydronephrosis is treated surgically? Are there any medicines or treatments that can help restore kidney function? The hydronephrosis was caused by a long standing stone blockage.
