Hi Jyoti,

There may be an improvement in some of the labs depending on how well he sticks with his prescribed diet and medications and fluid intake. If he has not seen a renal dietician, he should.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, he is having his prescribed diet ..one thing I wanted to ask how much water intake should he follow? and can he take dairy products in limit?

That is something to check with his doctor. It all depends on what stage of CKD he is at. Usually for stages 2-4 they would like to see up to 2 liters. But check with HIS doctor.
