Hydration: Drinking hot water is generally safe and can be soothing, but it does not have a direct proven benefit specifically for kidney health. Staying well-hydrated is important for kidney function, so drinking enough fluids—whether warm or cold—is key.
-
Temperature of Water: The temperature (hot or cold) does not significantly impact kidney health.
-
Other Factors: Maintaining a balanced diet, controlling blood pressure, and managing blood sugar are more critical for kidney health.
If there are any existing kidney issues or concerns, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice. Overall, drinking warm water can be part of a healthy hydration routine but is not a specific treatment for kidney health.

My mom is 65 and her recent tests show EGFR 76 with creatinine at 0.93 mg/dl she's been diagnosed with CKD stage 2. Is treatment necessary at this point or is it okay to just monitor? Should we see a nephrologist now or wait? Also, she's scheduled for gallstone surgery next month is it safe for her to go ahead with the procedure given her kidney condition?
For a 65-year-old with stage 2 CKD (eGFR 76, creatinine 0.93 mg/dL), monitoring and lifestyle modifications are likely the initial approach, while a nephrologist consultation is recommended, not necessarily immediately, but within the next few months to assess the underlying cause and discuss long-term management options. The gallstone surgery is generally safe if properly managed, especially if the surgeon is aware of the kidney condition.

I'm really concerned about my health right now because my creatinine level is at 3.3 and my blood pressure is high at 120180. Is this something I should be worried about? Also, is there any way to improve kidney issues related to damage of cortical echotexture?
To decrease creatinine levels, it is important to manage underlying conditions that may be contributing to kidney damage. In your case, with a creatinine level of 3.3 and high blood pressure of 120180, it is concerning and may indicate kidney dysfunction. Controlling blood pressure is crucial in managing kidney function. You can take medications like Losartan at a dose of 50mg daily to help lower blood pressure and protect the kidneys. As for the kidney problem related to damage of Cortical echotexture, it is important to address the underlying cause of the damage. While it may not be possible to completely cure kidney damage, you can slow down the progression of the disease by following a renal-friendly diet, staying hydrated, and taking medications
