In general, when patients with chronic renal failure who cannot urinate drink water, water is not discharged into urine and accumulates in the body as edema. Therefore, water ingested through dialysis must be discharged from the body. The average dialysis time of people suffering from chronic renal failure is 4 hours every two days, and the maximum value that can be subtracted at a time is 3 kg without causing a big strain on the heart. Therefore, patients with chronic renal failure should consume limited water so that the intake of water and food does not exceed 3 kg every two days.

However, because of the hassle, most chronic kidney failure patients do not drink water by checking the exact amount of water they drink each time. In other words, most chronic renal failure patients determine their daily water intake in an inaccurate way that relies on their own experiences.

On the other hand, in recent years, for the purpose of health care or beauty or preventing muscle loss, for example, a large number of people who consume 2L to 3L of water a day are increasing. They generally carry a fairly large bucket of water, and when they finish drinking, they fill the bucket with water again to practice drinking 2L to 3L of water a day.

However, in this case, the main purpose is to drink a lot of water, not to drink a certain amount of water, so depending on your mood, discard the water in the bucket and fill it with new water, or add water while drinking some water from the bucket. Since the action of filling is performed, it is not possible to know the exact amount of water intake. Rather, the deviation may be severe every day, so it is difficult to actually achieve the expected effect by drinking 2L to 3L of water every day. When this happens, in the end, most people give up drinking 2L to 3L of water a day, which is practiced for health care, beauty, or muscle loss prevention.
