@kgggg A lot depends on you as a person. Sorry I don't have a pat answer. Drink before you are thirsty. Not knowing what stage CKD you are at, most medical doctors will advise about 48 oz per day. But again, if you are someone who is physically very active due to work and/or sports, you may need more. And if you are a larger person physically, you will need more. For me, my goal is what it takes for me to feel good. Weather, and my general health on any given day, play a factor.
What is your medical team telling you?

@gingerw it’s all just very confusing. Trying to eliminate things from my diet and then not knowing whether the elimination is helping your cause because you can’t get a blood test every week. I’m about 5’10 and 140 pounds so water intake from what I’ve been seeing might be about 3/4 water bottles a day. I guess at the end of the day I should find a renal dietitian to take some of the guess work out. Have you heard of Jen Hernandez? Perhaps you have another suggestion. Thanks.
