My father has been diagnosed with Stage 3 Renal Failure. It was not brought on by disease.

It was brought on by a bladder that stopped functioning and there is a backup of urine that is surrounding his kidneys.

We will put in a cathater (sp?) to bypass his bladder to drain the urine and allow the free passage of urine into the bag.

The kidneys still function, but at diminished ability. Can this help alleviate some of the issue and maybe retard the development?
