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.

I'm really worried right now about my health. I've been checking my blood pressure every day for the past two weeks, and it's been around 190110 consistently. I'm already taking Telmisartan 40mg, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. On top of that, my creatinine level is 1.8, my potassium is high, urine protein is at 2484, and my albumin is 3.3. My vitamin B12 is really low at 82. Can you help me understand what all these numbers mean and what I should do next?
