Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

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.
