Does drinking a lot of water at night affect the kidneys?

Patient's question:

Is it a burden on the kidneys to give him 80 ml once at night?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, water is a necessary nutrient for the human body and is essential for growth and development, as well as for the completion of various physiological functions.
Guidance: The kidneys have a very strong ability to regulate water balance. When there is sufficient water, reabsorption in the renal tubules decreases, and a large amount of water is excreted through urine. When water is insufficient, reabsorption in the renal tubules increases, urine becomes concentrated, and urine output decreases.
The main function of the human kidneys is to regulate water metabolism. If the kidneys are not functioning well, urine output will decrease. If a large amount of water is consumed, it can lead to edema. Uremia is kidney failure, so patients with uremia will experience decreased urine output, severe edema, and the inability to excrete normal metabolic products from the body.
