Proteinuria and Edema in both the legs

2019-03-30 16:03:08
My father is suffering from Proteinuria and has swelling in his feet and around the eyes which subdides gradually during day. He is diabetic and hypertensive for the last 18 years. He has been diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy. His Creatinine (0.9), BUN, GFR (85), Electrolytes, Ultrasound everything is in normal range. Doctor has suggested him diet with low sodium, potassium and oil. Could you please suggest some good renal diet book WRITTEN BY INDIAN AUTHOR as I am unable to find any book written from the Indian perspective, though there are umpteen books written by foreign authors.
