Too much water can also damage the kidneys as it can dilute the sodium in the system which can lead to more problems.
It's best not to drink alcohol at this stage and also reduce the quantity of red meat.

I suffered terribly and have only 1 kidney that functions fully.
I am totally free of all cystitis and infections no antibiotics for a year.
I take a high dose if I feel an infection and a maintenance dose each day.

Am just recovering from yet another horrendous kidney infection with fevers, severe back pain, pain on urinatin. I was in bed for four days and could not go to work it follows on from one back in the summer which never really went away I had low level cystitis for sever months despite prophylactic antibiotics.

I am now terrified of what might happen next. Is there anything I can do to help myself. I have my reduced to alcohol use to 14 units as recommended, drink pints of waster and try to eat healthily. I should exercise more, but with a full time job this is difficult.

Any ideas?
