I stand corrected and I should know better not to think horses when there are zebras. I would believe that the muscle wasting would be the bigger concern as a cause of kidney issues as sodium intake in the absence of hypertension is not a typical risk factor. I wish you well.

The idea is that sodium can help raise blood pressure (along with hydration) and thereby help the kidneys with their filtration job.
