Managing Fluid Intake

People with advanced kidney disease or kidney failure may need to limit their fluid intake, if recommended by their healthcare providers. Learning how to limit fluids can help prevent fluid overload, which can cause swelling, high blood pressure, stress on the heart, and difficulty breathing.

To help these patients meet their recommended fluid restrictions, Healthmap offers “Managing Fluid Intake,” a handy Patient Resource guide with information on the importance of fluid management and techniques to limit fluid consumption.
