For patients with CKD, their kidney function will be damaged by their disease gradually, which can cause the accumulation of metabolic wastes in their body. It is necessary for patients to take measures to protect their remaining kidney function and improve their overall condition.
As we know, water is the most important nutrint nutrient for our body health, and it is necessary for patients to guarantee themselves with enough water intake. Well then, is it good for patients with CKD to drink more water?
In fact, increasing water intake is very beneficial for patients with CKD, but patients can not increase their water intake blindly, becasue it can also aggrvate patient’s condition if it is taken inappropriately.

For patients with CKD, when their kidney function is low enough, lots of metabolic wastes will accumulate in patient’s body. While increasing water intake can help patients produce more urine, which can help patients to remove out the accumulated metabolic wastes in their body.
Thereby, if patient’s condition is not too severe, increasing waster intake is very beneficial for patients to improve their condition.
When CKD patients can not increase their water intake?
However, in some cases, increasing water intake will bring patients bad effects, and patients should avoid much water intake at this point.
Edema is a common complication of CKD, and when CKD patients have obvious edema, they should avoid taking much fluid. Besides, when patients need dialysis, they will also need to avoid much fluid intake, becasue patient’s low kidney function is not able to remove out the excess fluid completely.
Thereby, patients should regulate their fludi intake according to their own condition. In the end, if you need any help in dealing with your condition, you can contact our online experts. We will do what we can to help you.
