High blood pressure is very bad for chronic kidney disease. It can speed up glomerular sclerosis and renal fibrosis and cerebrovascular complications can lead to kidney failure. So patients with CKD shouldn’t drink too much coffee. Patients with serious CKD can’t drink coffee at all. Coffee contains fat, protein, carbohydrate, inorganic salt and vitamin, which can aggravate the number of wastes in the body. It is no good for chronic kidney disease. Caffeine is very hard to decompose, which add the much burden to kidney. Caffeine is unfavorable to the absorption of calcium, and it may cause the loss of sclerotin. If the amount of calcium in people’s diet is lacking, or people do not have activity frequently, and at the same tine, if these people have the habit of drinking coffee, they may have osteoporosis easily. On the other hand, patients with kidney disease often have the disorder of minerals, and the imbalance of potassium and calcium may cause the shortage of calcium, and then patients may have bone disease. As a result, coffee may destroy CKD patients’ health if they are in late stage.

So we suggest that patients with CKD who like coffee should drink less at a controlled level. If your CKD is very serious, you can’t drink coffee at all. In a word, patients with CKD should drink coffee as little as possible. It is much better that patients with CKD don’t drink coffee
