What are guidelines for fluid in chronic kidney disease? So, I would say for the purposes of our conversation, there is no restriction. We would encourage people to preserve kidney health. You should drink plenty of water every day. General advice is that people should be drinking one and a half litres of water a day. day, you then get some water from your food, such as, you know, lettuce, fruit, and vegetables, obviously has a water content. It is true that there are some people that, as they develop an advanced kidney impairment, do have a fluid restriction where they must drink less than 750 ml of water per day, but I would say you shouldn't do that unless you have been told by your kidney specialist that you specifically must restrict your fluid intake.
