You are dealing with a lot. I will try to answer one of your questions. According to the Mayo Clinic site on Chronic Kidney Disease, retention of urine caused by prostate disease can lead to kidney problems. A relative of mine had this happen. After the prostate surgery his GFR went up some. I am holding you in my thoughts and prayers.

He pees a LOT - all night long. Years ago he started using a bottle at night as he was getting up 6 or 8 times a night - high volume each time.
This morning he commented he has been getting cramps in his right calf, especially behind the right knee socket for about a week. He has had venous insufficiency for years now in that leg. Used to swell up but since he has his legs elevated constantly, not so much. But gets a lot of small ulcers on it. He also shows no knee jerk reaction in either leg.
Tough getting old!
