Answer
Hi Again,  I would suggest a home cooked diet for kidney and liver disease.  I can give you a few recipes that are alternatives to the RX Hill's Diet.
Also, I know a professional that will develop a diet for you.  I believe she does charge for this service.  Let me know if you are willing to do home-cooking.
