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.

Can a urine dysmorphic RBC test really tell if the blood in my urine is coming from my kidneys or the urethra? I had results showing 1012 cellshpf in my urine, but when I did the test again 4 days later, it dropped to 12 cellshpf. Does this mean it was a false reading, or could the sample have been off? I'm a bit confused about what to make of these results.
Yes ideally Dysmorphic RBCs indicate renal problem,but in your case as it is an incidental finding for once and is not continuing you can ignore it,if you are woried visit Nephrologist for evaluation and appropriate management
