How much of water do you drink w CKD 3b condition?
Nephrologist tells me that because of Hydro nephews is (water or urine flooded kidneys), my intake of water must be reduced to 32oz per day. This is summer like time.
Very thirsty and I want to drink at least 64 ounces perday.
What do you think?
Please reply. Thanks.
VJ

@vijay26 I would get a second opinion from another nephrologist and take your test results to the consultation. With stage 3a my nephrologist said 8-10 glasses of (8 oz) water a day. If your kidneys are overloaded (what is "Hydro nephews is"?), then drinking more but smaller volumes might help. Dehydration is bad for kidneys as well as overhydration (hyponatremia). Depends also on your levels of proteins, calcium, sodium, potassium, and phosphates in your blood and other tests.
