Hi everyone, I have a biopsy scheduled at the hospital for my kidneys at 9:30 Central Time. My kidneys are functioning at +/- 50%. My creature is slightly elevated. Doctor is trying to figure out why Thanks in advance Joe
Should have read my creatine is high. I don’t have an elevated creature....that I know of. Thank you everyone.
Sometimes being dehydrated from not drinking enough water can mess with your kidneys. Do you drink enough water daily?
Fair enough. Just wanted you to know from personal experience that my creatine levels were a little off at one point and when I asked my doctor what could cause that he said it could be something as minor as not drinking enough water, which I probably tend not to drink enough of. I have been trying to get better at it, though. I guess it depends on how bad your levels are as to whether or not a lack of sufficient water could be a cause.
Doctor was recommending my wife should drink 3L of water a day (15 glasses) since she had the kidney stones. She drinks a lot, but that's a crazy amount unless you want to spend all your time in the bathroom.
That's what I normally drink each day. 3 liters. Maybe a little more. I drink 8 ounces every 45 minutes.
