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 recently got my urine tested, and the results showed albumins present. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and suggest ways to reduce it?
Presence of albumin in urine (albuminuria) can be due to various reasons such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney damage, or urinary tract infection; to reduce albuminuria, your nephrologist may recommend lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy blood pressure and blood sugar level, reducing protein intake, increasing omega-3 fatty acids, and staying hydrated, along with medication if necessary.

I'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.
