A member asked:
My father (83) has pacemaker installed for 15 years (ischemic heart). his kidneys have weakened (creatinine 3.9). what diet restrictions (proteins, k)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nephrologist needed: The pacemaker is not related to the kidney issues and no particular diet is needed from a pacemaker standpoint. You should make sure your father sees a nephrologist (kidney doctor) to manage his kidney issues and discuss the appropriate diet.
