Suggest An Ideal Diet For A CHF Patient Suffering From Chronic Dehydration

My friend had congestive heart failure and recovered using diuretics. Recently she became ill and was taken to an emergency room. It turns out that she was dehydrated to the point that her kidneys had shut down. She was hydrated, taken off the diuretics and sent home. How does she find the proper balance in her hydration?

this is natural. diuretic can be taken with constant monitoring, so that there is no dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
