Drinking alkaline soda may have some effect on uric acid and stone removal, but it may also increase the symptoms of high blood pressure and sodium retention, so it is not possible to generalize whether soda is good for the kidneys.
Soda is mainly an aqueous solution containing sodium bicarbonate which is weakly alkaline. Based on its nature and the effect of drinking a large amount of water, drinking more soda may have a certain effect on uric acid elimination and other medications for the treatment of hyperuricemia, gout and other diseases; in addition, drinking a large amount of soda or ordinary drinking water has a certain effect on the control and prevention of kidney stones.
However, in nephrotic syndrome, renal failure and other conditions, drinking too much soda may also aggravate the condition, such as severe hypertension and sodium retention and other conditions, due to the osmotic pressure of soda and sodium and other characteristics may lead to increased blood pressure, edema aggravation, heart failure and other conditions.
It is recommended not to overhear the efficacy of soda, the emergence of hyperuricemia, gout and kidney stones and other conditions in a timely manner to the regular hospital, as prescribed by the doctor for targeted drug or surgical treatment.
