[QUOTE="Triffo, post: 1788713, member: 180655"] I find this comment really intriguing. I have been through two prolonged periods of chronic kidney failure. (Polycystic kidney disease) I had a kidney transplant in 1999 and a 2nd in 2013. I would think that bad kidney function would not change because of the amount of hydration one had taken just before a test. I have the eGFR test every three months as part of my ongoing monitoring but have never considered good hydration as something to consider beforehand. Mine has always been below the normal (60) and is running at around 50. I will try hydration before my next set of tests to see if the results change. It is interesting what tips you pick up on this forum. In relation to statins giving protection to the kidneys none of the various transplant teams at the hospitals I have been under over the last 28 years have ever used this reason with me so I’m not convinced that it is a valid reason to take statins.
