π§ Why Do Dialysis Patients Need to Drink Less Water?
When the kidneys are not working properly, the body is unable to remove excess water efficiently.
Because of this, when extra fluid builds up in the body, it can lead to:
πΉ Swelling in the legs
πΉ Increased blood pressure
πΉ Difficulty in breathing
Thatβs why the amount of water/fluids a dialysis patient should consume must be strictly followed as advised by the doctor. π
π To know your correct fluid limit, always consult your Dialysis Team.
