Is drinking hot water good for kidneys?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Drinking warm water daily in the morning flushes/clears out the kidney toxins and fat deposit in the intestine through the urinary region.

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.

View allI'm really worried because my blood creatinine level is 5.91mgdl and I've been told that both my kidneys have shrunk in size. I've got normal blood pressure and sugar levels, and I don't have any major diseases, but I've been feeling a lot of bone pain. The doctor mentioned that my kidney function is down to about 50% and gave me some medication to try for a month before deciding if I'll need dialysis. I'm really frustrated with all of this and would love some advice on what I should do next or if there's anything else I can try.

I'm really concerned about my high creatine levels and not sure how to manage or lower it. I'm feeling pretty awful and could really use some advice or remedies. Can you help?

My dad's been dealing with kidney disease for the past five years, and we're actively getting treatment. Right now, it seems like his kidney function is between 17 to 19 percent, and his creatinine level is at 5.1. I'm really worried and just wondering at what stage does he actually need to start dialysis, and realistically, how many more years might we be able to prolong his life?
Dialysis will be needed at any point of time once the percentage of kidney function is below 15%. How well a person does on dialysis depends on how well heshe prepares for it. Your patient should get an AV fistula as soon as possible so that dialysis can be initiated in a stress free environment. People can survive on dialysis for years and even decades of proper care is taken.
