if you're a diabetic and have lousy kidney function and high creatinine...sure
if you have a kidney infection you need to be treated by a doctor. i don't know about kidney failure but my mom get lots of kidney infections and if she waits to long to go to the doctor she has to go to the hospital for treatment. it can make you really sick.
