As introduced by nephrologists, water retention is due to two direct causes: extra fluid accumulation and a large amount of protein leakage. In fact, these two problems are attributed to severe decline of kidney function. At stage 3 kidney disease, kidneys are functioning at 15%~29%.

Control fluid and sodium intake. Since water retention is due to sodium and fluid retention, patients should decrease their fluid and sodium intake. Such a meal plan requires patients to eat about 1,500~2,000 mg of sodium one daily.

Elevate the affected regions. This method can prevent fluid from building up in affected regions continuously. For example, if you have leg swelling, you can elevate your legs when you sleep.

Take diuretics. For Stage 3 CKD patients, diuretics are often used to ease water retention, because diuretics can stimulate kidneys to eliminate more water, so as to ease swelling or edema.

From the above we can know kidney damage is the root cause of water retention. In view of this, patients should seek some therapies that can help improve your kidney condition effectively.
