Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As of now do frequent monitoring of the kidney function will be required. Make sure that his blood sugar level is well controlled as uncontrolled diabetes can worsen kidney status. Consult a nephrologist and he might require drugs like Diuretics to make his kidney functionally good. Vitamin supplements like vitamin B1 doesn't has got any role in the treatment of kidney disease. However nothing wrong in taking health supplements and he can safely take vitamin B supplements.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
