What happen if i drink 8l per day of alkaline water when i have kidney problem?

Why would you do it: I would not do this as we do not know what you put in the water. PLease use plain water and not something that is abnormal. it will mess your electrolyte balance and upset the acid base balance in your system. May actually make the kidney problem worse and cause liver damage.
