Recommend Treatment For Kidney Damage

My husband has most of the symptoms of being a diabetic and having kidney damage. He will not go to the doctor so we are doing our best with what we read and learn. He is 6 ft and 200 lbs. We know that exercise and diet are extremely important. Is there anything that we can do to help the damaged kidneys?

Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that your husband is known diabetes and has kidney damage due to Diabetic Nephropathy .

Diabetic nephropathy is a Chronic Kidney Disease with complex physiological changes in various metabolic changes in body and can not be treated at home by reading on internet without consulting a qualified Nephrologist and having investigated thoroughly by doing blood tests to assess his kidney function .

It is harmful and risky to treat such patients yourself at home by trial and errors and may cause further damage to his kidneys rather than any help.

I would suggest you to convince him to consult qualified Nephrologist and get investigated and to take further treatment by scientific approach .
