A member asked:
Besides keeping glucose under control, what to do to keep kidneys healthy? is drinking too much fluids bad for kidneys because they work harder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney health : Diabetes and high blood pressure are the two major causes of kidney failure - by far. So keeping blood sugar and blood pressure under control will go a long way to protecting your kidneys! watching salt intake can help control blood pressure. Exercise helps with both blood sugar and blood pressure control. Kidney patients on dialysis may be restricted as to their fluid intake. Good luck. Lgromko.
