A member asked:
Will drinking water help take the salt out of my kidneys?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hmm...: Kidney does not have storage of salt. It a filtration organ which selectively filters out bad chemicals, excess metabolites from blood ( body ). More water will be excreted out by kidney......if you drink excess than daily need. During the process you will loose some electrolytes.
