stge 3 kidney failure

Posted by sherryann75 @sherryann75, Nov 30, 2023

Should I drink 80 ounces of water daily to improve stage 3 renal failure or may I drink Green tea and cranberry juice as a substitute for some of the water?

@wilfreda @sherryann75 I get my supplies through Amazon. You could also use a few drops of lemon juice, or cranberry juice. With kidney issues you need to be careful of some of the phosphates and potassiums present in juices [like orange juice]. I took all three of these into my dialysis clinic and got the okay from the dietician after she saw the packets.

I am diabetic and have CKD stage 4 so I have to concern myself with both diabetes and renal diet requirements when it comes to hydration. I don’t like plain water either so the suggestions of a little juice, seltzer, tea, True —, ….etc. helps the taste. I have also used Crystal Light beverage packets. There are other similar store brands & generics. You can get individual size or packets that make a half gallon. I find them in the grocery store near bottled juices and Kool-Aid packets.

I take a tablespoon of psyllium and benefiber each morning and I mix it with a little tart cherry juice concentrate and I don't mind it as much as plain. My wife can not tolerate it and takes it in pill form. It is more expensive but works for her. Hope that helps.
