Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
Kidney function is reflected by GFR estimation,and blood creatinine levels.
Kidney failure is divided into 5 stages,depending on GFR level.
So now you know about stages of CKD(chronic kidney disease), and stage 3.
With prostate cancer treatment,diabetes and heart disease, stage 3 kidney disease, will need a Nephrologist care to decide, if dialysis, is indicated.
Drink water depending on urine output only,with low salt and protein diet.
If you've any doubts, send the reports to me as a direct question.
