Is drinking a lot of water good for your kidneys?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, water helps the kidneys remove wastes from your blood in the form of urine. Water also helps keep your blood vessels open so that blood can travel freely to your kidneys, and deliver essential nutrients to them.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my recent lab results. I had both an LFT and KFT done, and while my LFT is normal, I'm worried about my creatinine level, which came back at 1.1. The normal range they gave me is between 0.4 to 1.4, so should I be concerned about it being at the higher end? Also, my uric acid level is 7.2, with normal ranges listed as 4.8 to 7.5. I noticed my urine is yellow in the morning, but it seems normal throughout the day as long as I stay hydrated. I had chickenpox last December, but that's all cleared up now. What do you suggest I do about these results? I've attached my KFT and LFT reports for you to take a look.
Based on your results and symptoms, it seems like you may be experiencing mild dehydration, which can affect the color of your urine. It's important to stay hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day. To help manage your uric acid levels, you can make dietary changes such as reducing the intake of purine-rich foods like red meat, organ meats, and certain types of seafood. Additionally, you can consider medications like Allopurinol to help lower uric acid levels. For your creatinine levels, it's important to continue monitoring them regularly. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise can help support kidney function. It would be beneficial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and personalized recommendations based on your medical history and test results.

One of my relatives has been dealing with high blood pressure and their creatinine level was around 3.6. After being admitted to the hospital and getting treatment with English medicine, their blood pressure is now normal, but the creatinine level has gone up to 4.5. I'm a big believer in Ayurveda and was wondering when would be a good time to bring them in for a consultation with you.
Patient is advised HBA1c levels , and continue same medications twice daily.
