Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 71-year-old female. I weigh about 96 pounds, and I’m 4 feet, 9 inches tall. My blood pressure has always been good. When I was 25 years old, I donated a kidney. I was told by doctors and nurses to drink lots of fluid to take care of my one remaining kidney. After watching what happened to my brother and the many patients in dialysis, I made sure to drink at least 16 cups of fluid a day, including coffee, tea and water.
