You should avoid drinking or ask your doctor's recommendation on alcohol intake. Depending on your kidney function your doctor may allow you to have alcohol on occasion. Take care.

Alcohol in ESRD: You should check with the dietician and your nephrologist at your dialysis center before you have any alcohol (a). If you have a, check the potassium, sodium and phosphorus levels found in the beverage you are consuming. You also need to include the liquid content of the beverage you are ingesting into your daily allowable fluid intake. A is metabolized in the liver and make sure it is healthy.
