Nephrologist (Kidney Specialist) Questions Detoxification

Is a juice stressful for the kidneys?

I am planning to go for a juice and water detox. However, I read some reviews which said that such a detox plan could cause strain on the kidneys. Is it true?

It is not. Drinking a lots of water is good for the kidneys. Drink juice between each meal, not on an empty stomach.
No
Do you have CKD?
People with advanced CKD should not drink juices high in potassium like orange juice etc and those with diabetes should preferably eat fruits rather than drink juice esp no grape juice or mango juice
That's not true. If you have normal functioning kidneys, no type of juice will stress the kidneys; even a high-protein diet is okay.
