Atkins is a bad idea if your kidneys are already damaged. Gotta fix the nephropathy first ...

If only there was a way to do that. When the kidneys get damaged, it's permanent. They don't heal or recover, ever.

The only hope is to delay a transplant by stopping whatever was destroying them. Most often, that's diabetes and high blood pressure, both of which can be controlled. The kidneys can then limp along for quite awhile.
