What can I do to get fluid in to me.Thank you
This is a concerning situation that needs immediate medical attention. Here's why:
- Severe dehydration is dangerous with one kidney
- Your 2.5L water requirement needs adjustment during illness
- Vomiting/diarrhea for 10+ hours can quickly lead to dehydration
Please:
1. Contact your nephrologist immediately
2. Consider urgent care/ER if you can't keep fluids down
3. Try small sips of clear fluids or ice chips
4. Track your urine output
Don't wait to seek help - with IgAN and one kidney, dehydration can be serious.
