Should Teenagers with Nephrotic Syndrome Drink a Lot of Water

Water composes 66% of our human body and is necessary for many body functions, such as filtering minerals out of the body and making up the blood. This is why fitness experts emphasize drinking water. However, should teenagers with Nephrotic Syndrome drink a lot of water?

To be honest, there is no strict limit of water intake for teenagers with Nephrotic Syndrome, and the amount of drinking water depends on personal condition. In general, patients are not recommended to drink a lot of water, and the daily volume of water intake can be around 1,000ml. Any food that is liquid at room temperature counts as a fluid. This including the following:

▪ Milk, water, juice, soda, and other beverages

▪ Ice cubes

▪ Ice cream, sherbet, frozen yogurt

▪ Popsicles

▪ Gelatin

▪ Soup

▪ Pudding

Moreover, fruits and vegetables that are rich in fluid are also take into consideration, such as oranges, apples, grapes, pears, celery and lettuce, etc.
Helpful hints for restricting your water intake:

1. Identify the amount of water your favourite glass or cup holds, so that you do not have to measure the water each time. Try using small glasses.

2. Avoid salty foods, as they trigger thirst.

3. Frozen pieces of fruit, such as melon, berries, grapes can help quench thirst.

4. Staying out of the sun can help keep yourself from being thirsty on a hot day.

Daily health care is needed for persons with Nephrotic Syndrome. Do you have any other doubts about your disease? Feel free to consult our online experts.
