I looked through my test results from two months ago and realized my kidney levels are showing 2 points from abnormal I haven’t been peeing much and just realized it when I thought about it today… I’ve only been peeing 2 to 3 times a day… Normally someone will pee 7 to 10 times a day… I’m scared…
Do you drink a lot of water?
@anon22322466 yes 60oz a day
@anon22322466 today I accidentally drank 80 oz and only peed 3 times
Maybe your body adapted to drinking that much water, and isn’t excreting it as often.
Are you drinking a diuretic like soda / coffee / tea?
I feel like you’re freaking yourself out unnecessarily.
Talk to your doctor about the kidney function first,
Don’t jump to conclusions reading your own labs.

@anon22322466 I normally mix a bit of sugar free drink powder in my water.
@GoldenRex but I’m not peeing much
I read my own labs too and get really scared. Then I see my doctor and he reassures me that their not as bad as it seems.

I’m just saying talk to your doctor before you get too worked up,
It could be a lot of different things.

@Sheryl and @GoldenRex idk I’m just kinda scared… I’m trying to calm down but I can’t help but think something awful is wrong with me
@Sheryl @anon22322466 and @GoldenRex I’ve been told before that my kidneys were struggling so I’m kinda freaking
How long have you been drinking 60 oz of water?
@anon22322466 months and I realized my pee level never went up
If you think your going into kidney failure go to the emergency room and have them test your kidney function. Then you’ll know for sure.
@anon22322466 I’m counting my drink mix as water as well if that matters
This is something you should discuss with the doctor, but if I had to guess I’d say your bladder just adapted to the extra water.
