When my brother-in-law was found out to have chronic kidney disease the attending specialist prescribed dialysis because the kidneys are very weak. A doctor friend also recommended dialysis.
But the patient who is a physician sought help from a noted nephrologist (specialist for kidney disease). The specialist referred the patient to a dietitian who said that proper diet and physical activities can make the kidneys stronger. It’s been 2 years now that the patient is doing fine with the controlled diet – small quantity of fish and vegetables, very small quantity of meat, 1 liter of water per day plus small portions of fruits. Undergoing dialysis is not only expensive but also hard on the patient’s time. It can be avoided with the help of a good dietitian.
