Choices matter: You are making a good decision to choose your lifestyle. Since you already have moderate kidney disease, protecting the remaining is important. Weight loss, exercise, low sodium diet, avoiding tobacco and nsaids together with controlled blood pressure and blood sugar will protect your remaining kidney function. Fluid intake in general water if your thirsty, don't "push" fluids. Good luck.

Creatinine 1.4, GFR 84, BUN 9 and others normal.4mm stone in right kidney.am I suffering from ckd?how much water should I drink?
I got some blood work done and my GFR was only 68. My BUN/creatinine was 9.6 which Ive read is normal. Im only 20 years old and that 68 seems way too loware my kidneys ok? I take a lot of NSAIDS for chronic pain and dont drink enough water?
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?
Would serum creatinine or GFR indicate if one kidney is struggling while the other is functioning fine? If not, what testing could identify this?
I had one more quick question. If bun 25, creatinine 1.5, bun/creat ratio 17, egfr 58...The egfr means im in stage 3 CKD right? 58% kidney function?
