He should stay hydrated. He should ask his doctor if an ACE-inhibitor would be helpful. He should see a nutritionist and get on the correct diet to avoid high potassium and magnesium levels, etc. He should avoid medications that can harm the kidneys-his doctor can provide those to him. Good luck to both of you!
