Hi
Thanks for your query.
It is a good idea to keep yourself well hydrated especially in the summer when you sweat a lot. Any liquid including water should be ok for this purpose.
There is no evidence that lemon juice has any curative effects in kidney diseases.
Also check with your nephrologist if you are allowed to drink fruit juices (as some patients with kidney disease have a high blood potassium level which precludes the use of some fruit juices)
Hope this helps
Good luck
