As a general rule with kidney disease especially kidney failure you need to avoid pretty much all soft drinks, sodas, fruit juices, colas, gatorade, v8, pepsi and coca-cola products are high in potassium or very hard for a non-healthy kidney to process. Dark sodas are especially bad. So you need to switch to Tea (something like Leptin tea is a way better choice if you don't like water.) Certain kinds of crystal light and most powdered juices like Kool-Aid, Capri-Sun, and fruit punch are fine and have zero potassium but don't drink tons of it if you have to watch sodium. The absolute best thing for your kidney(s) is to drink water as it helps flush your system if you can urinate. But at end stage renal(kidney) failure you normally cant get rid of fluids unless you're on dialysis or have your other kidney working fine. But if you can urinate drinking lots of water is called "poor mans dialysis or natures dialysis" and is the best thing for your body
