Mild disease: You can drink as much water as you like. Drink enough so that your urine is watery. If you have high blood pressure or diabetes, make sure you treat it properly.

Cannot say without having access to your medical records. You may have had glomerulo-nephritis. It is more important to follow your doctor's advice for continuing care.

My Bun/Creatinine is 31.9 but I drink 2 liters of water every day. I have had a lot of kidney stones in the past. Could this high number just be from kidney damage? Thanks?
