Question

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.
