hi
Welcome to healthcare magic forum
Diarrhoea means there is an infection in the body. In healthy people diarrhoa or any intestinal infection gets better in few days or in a week. Since your Kidney function is compromised you would not want to complicate things with infection now. So please see a doctor without wasting much time.
Takecare.
