@kamama94 Regarding your elevated BUN and Cr, my doctors recommend drinking 2-3 liters daily. This equals 70 to 100 ounces. I have a 20 ounce travel mug I fill a minimum of 4 times daily. 80 ounces is about 2 1/2 liters. A better check to see if you are getting enough fluids is to check your urine. If it is clear or very light yellow you are good. The darker yellow the less hydrated you are. If it is near orange you are probably in or near to crisis. Blessings.

@2011panc, good idea, I drink 60 oz a day, urine pale yellow, so hydrating ok. Neph said she thought it would be better to have the AV access and not need it than to need it and not have it.
