Q:
I have FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulonephritis) and I want to ask about the correct amount of water should I take? Please help me.
A:
If your kidney function is higher than 90%, you can drink water just like normal people. Besides, some patients are suggested to drink more fluid to flush the whole body and stimulate the kidneys to produce more urine output and take away more waste products.
If your condition has been in stage 3 kidney disease and you also have swelling or high blood pressure, you should control your fluid intake. Moreover, it is necessary for you to take a low sodium diet plan. Daily sodium intake for FSGS patients is 1000 to 4000mg. However, if patients have severe swelling or edema, sodium intake should be reduced to 2000 to 3000mg per day.
FSGS patients should drink correct amount of fluid every day but different condition has different amount. Thus, you can send your medical reports to kidneycares@hotmail.com. Our experts will analyze your condition and then give you professional guidance.
Of course, only diet is not enough for FSGS. The key point for FSGS treatment should be Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Blood Pollution Therapy. You first take Blood Pollution Therapy to cleanse your blood. When your kidneys are damaged, there will be lots of toxins depositing in your body. These toxins can reduce the effect of medication you take and also cause further kidney damage. Thus, if you want to get a better treatment effect, you need to take Blood Pollution Therapy to purify your blood first. And then Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can work effectively. This therapy is on the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The active ingredients in Chinese medicines can stimulate the self-healing ability of injured kidney tissues and cells, thus reversing kidney damage. When kidney structure is restored, renal function will be enhanced radically. When renal function is improved, your life quality will be improved.
How much water can FSGS patients drink depends on their specific condition. If you have any question, you can email us or consult our online doctor directly.
