Dehydration definitely affects our kidneys. If it's a habit yo get to busy to drink you may have to figure out ways to remind yourself.
I now have a water bottle with me at all times, which was hard to adjust to at first but really is a habit now. It totally changed my hydration .

@lbrockme - I also take water everywhere with me. It helps to stay hydrated, and an additional advantage is that I don't stop somewhere for a soda!
Since I've been retired and spend more time at home, I keep a pitcher of water on my kitchen counter where I can see it. It is my reminder to take a drink. My goal is to have the pitcher empty by end of day. This has worked well for me for the past 15 years with my transplant.
