Hello dear lybrate-user, Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly. 1.7 creatinine is not bad at all, continue to give more liquids as per advise by your doctor. Can give water out of copper vessel. Hope this clears your query. Wishing him fine health.

There is no scientific evidence to corroborate or refute your drinking out of copper vessel in CKD patient. So I can?t really give you a correct advice.

Copper leashes into water -- high minerals are not good - in already once dailysed kidneys -- even thoug the serum creat is 1.7 - it might be still a chronic kidney disease - I donot advice to drink.
