If you are saying that it is written on paper, but what does your doctor say. Chronic renal failure is a slow growing silent disease and it is not must to have diabetes or bp for it. I would recommend you to get an second opinion about your renal failure. You can post your investigation in this forum also. Taking pain killers for long time can also cause renal failure.
