Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your anxiety.
Your father has, diabetic nephropathy, associated with an allergic pathology.
Nephropathy, is when kidney function is affected by diabetes.
Allergic cause is reflected in his high eosinophil counts.Blood counts of ESR are usually high and monophil may be high in some people.
The urea, creatinine,uric acid,HbA1C,electrloytes and all blood counts, need to repeated at weekly intervals,while on treatment.This isn't harmful for health.Some patients may need a kidney(renal) biopsy for diagnosis.
If you want my expert opinion,on any doubt,send it as a direct question.
