My dog is 9 years old and she has been diagnosed with kidney and liver issues and her creatinine has come 5mg and blood urea 59mg. So can she eat bananas in low quantity? and please let me know other fruits she can eat? which would not be harmful to kidneys and liver

In general, most fruits should be okay in small amounts for a dog with kidney and liver issues - bananas are fine, as well as strawberries, apples, and veggies like green beans and carrots. The only fruits to definitely avoid are grapes and raisins, as these are quite toxic to the kidneys even in healthy dogs.
