Probably not: But - high blood pressure(hypertension) can be treated and controlled to reduce risk of stroke, heart disease to near normal levels. Creatinine of 1.9 indicates reduced kidney function which may cause or aggravate high BP, but also may be caused by high BP. This could be reversible or indicative of a chronic kidney problem. Suggest consult with a specialist - nephrologist. Prostate ?related.

Creat 1.9: He has significant kidney disease which cannot likely be cured. His goal is to keep his home BP <135/85 using all means available. This should include doing the DASH diet and what ever meds it takes. Only by good BP control can he delay and perhaps avoid dialysis. Buy him a home BP cuff and teach him how to use it as his life and kidneys depend on it. See a hypertension expert now.

Paleo diet/low carb: Contrary to popular belief, best way to improve blood pressure, kidney function, cholesterol is by completely stopping high carb foods (grains, lentils, potatoes based items). Also avoid milk protein since it causes insulin resistance. Low carb foods: some eggs, fish, meats, lot of vegetables, some saturated fat (butter, coconut oil), olive oil are very effective. This can help avoid meds

Treatable.: While the medical issues you've mentioned may be adequately treatable, they are unfortunately not curable.
