Will The Reduction In Protein Intake And Increase In Vitamin B1 Helps For Kidney Failure Condition?
My sister was told she has stage 4 kidney failure (January 2014). The doctor told her she was 71 years old and had a good life, come back in October. I have been reading articles on Kidney failure. Will reducing protein intake and taking vitamin B1 help? What else should she do? Thanks Rick Wilson
