Good for you, making a list of questions. That is important, as we can get overwhelmed once we are in the doctor's office, and forget to mention something very important that we wanted an answer to!

If she does not have a nephrologist, make sure to enquire about getting one onto her medical team. They will take into account any other health concerns, and recommend her amount of fluid intake per day. But, also be careful, as too little hydration can lead to its own set of issues, like a Urinary Tract Infection [UTI] or abnormal blood test results.

Thank you! She has had one for years. 48 ounces of fluid minimum at this point. Hoping to hold off getting dialysis for as long as we can. This shot would be a new addition. Just have some concerns about the safety of it . Appreciate you sharing your experience.
