Description:
Water intake in chronic kidney disease (CKD) must be carefully individualized. While increasing water intake may help in early CKD or specific conditions like polycystic kidney disease by lowering kidney stress hormones, current research has not proven a clear benefit in slowing CKD progression for most patients. Both low and high water intake levels have been associated with worse kidney outcomes, so moderation is key. Recommendations should consider CKD stage, other health conditions like heart failure, and symptoms such as swelling or thirst. Overall, there is no universal target—water intake should be tailored to each patient’s needs.
