Some patients may suffer from dehydration, which is mainly caused by drinking less water. So they are eager to know can patients with kidney failure drink more water.
In generally, patients with kidney failure at least have 500ml urine output. Much toxic substances and extra fluid can not be excreted out of body along with urine. But, it dose not mean that patients can drink more water in daily life. This is because that the filtering function of glomerular and absorbing function of renal tubules are decreasing severely. So even if patients have normal urine output, the big amount of toxic substances can not be eliminated out of body effectively. And too much water puts much hard work to renal tubules. If patients have longer term of water intake, this leads to high blood pressure and swelling easily. What is worse, it also can lead to liver swelling, heart failure.
However, some patients may suffer from dehydration with less water intake or even no water intake. Therefore, patients need to have individual treating plant according to patients’ own illness condition. For patients with seriously swelling, patients are recommended to take diuretics to make the kidneys make more urine.
