Is drinking a lot of water good for your kidneys?

Doctor 1

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.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been dealing with heart issues and diabetes for over four years, and now his latest checkup showed his creatinine levels are up. I'm curious if there are specific foods, maybe certain types of millet or anything else, that might help lower his creatinine. Also, I'm a bit confused about how much fluid he should actually be drinking.

I'm dealing with CKD and my creatinine levels have gone up from 2.4 to 2.8 recently. I'm really worried about what this means and what I can do to manage it. Plus, for the past few days, I've been having this really annoying itching all over my body. It's driving me nuts. Do you have any ideas on what's going on or what might help? I'm really looking for some advice.

Height is largely determined by genetics, but lifestyle factors can influence growth during adolescence and early adulthood. To promote natural growth: 1. *Proper Nutrition*: Ensure adequate calcium, vitamin D, and protein intake. 2. *Exercise Regularly*: Engage in activities that promote growth, such as swimming, cycling, and stretching. 3. *Maintain Good Posture*: Proper posture can make you appear taller. 4. *Get Enough Sleep*: Adequate sleep (7-9 hours) helps regulate growth hormones. 5. *Manage Stress*: High stress levels can negatively impact growth. Consider consulting a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian to create a personalized growth-promoting plan. Keep in mind that after a certain age (usually around 18-25), growth plates close, and significant height increases are unlikely.
