Can I Drink Beer If I Have Stage 4 CKD

When kidney disease is present, they can not keep the balance of electrolytes and this may easily cause high phosphorus in your body. High phosphorus will lead to low calcium which will make the bone weak and easily broken. In this case, you should avoid high phosphorus foods. The foods include diary products, beverages such as cocoa and beer. From this aspect, you’d better keep away from alcohol.

Drinking alcohol moderately may be ok for patients with CKD who are not on dialysis. However, you’d better consult your doctor or renal dietitian to make sure if alcohol is safe for you. If you can drink alcohol safely, your dietitian will also give you some advice on the types and amounts that are right for you.

If you are on dialysis, drinking alcohol may be allowable, but it must be within your normal fluid allowance and diet, and medicines must be taken into account. Have a talk with your doctor or dietitian before you drink alcohol to find out if the alcohol will have a negative effect on your health.

For patients with CKD, it may be ok to drink alcohol if you have your blood sugar level under control. Your doctor or dietitian may allow you to drink alcohol with food or at mealtime.
