Suggest treatment for Good Pasture's Syndrome
Patient: My husband has been diagnosed with Good Pasture's Syndrome and has lost all of his kidney function.  I was wondering if it is alright for him to drink Gatorade?  He gets tired of drinking water and sometimes drinks too much pop such as 7UP, Sprite and Mountain Dew....he is on a 1500 mL limit of fluids. Doctor: Hi,  Better to avoid carbonated drinks and artificial sweeteners as it can worsen his kidneys. Consult a nephrologist and adjust his fluid intake to prevent further renal damage.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
