Hi and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Your wife has a kidney infection with CKD(chronic kidney disease).
You should write her age,body weight,B.P. and cause for the CKD.
Kidney infection is treated with a course of culture specific antibiotics.
Her salt intake can be up to 5g/day and 40g protein,with 2000 calories diet.
The electrolytes and creatinine decides the actual amount of salt needed.
Fluid intake should be, urine output plus 400ml/day.No fresh fruits allowed.
If she takes more fluids,she may develop swelling and get breathless.
