Does drinking more water cause more kidney damage?

Drinking more water does not necessarily mean more damage to the kidneys. Under normal circumstances, a healthy person who drinks more water just increases the amount of urination and does not cause damage to the kidneys. If you suffer from mild kidney disease, drinking more water appropriately can promote the discharge of metabolic substances in the body, which is beneficial to the patient’s health. Therefore, the more water you drink does not mean the more damage to your kidneys. If you are suffering from severe renal insufficiency or uremia, etc., drinking too much water and not discharging urine will burden the kidneys, which may cause edema, high blood pressure, etc., and in serious cases, it may also cause heart failure. In this case, the more water you drink, the more damage you may do to your kidneys. Patients suffering from kidney disease are advised to drink a moderate amount of water, and at the same time visit the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
