Hello,
If the kidney function is impaired, dialysis or transplantation is required. Diet can not cure the disease. However food substances that will harm the kidneys must be avoided. Nothing much to worry and your treatment is in the right track.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
