I'm getting a creatinine test soon and I'm a bit unsure about whether I should be drinking water beforehand. Like, how much water is okay to drink, and when should I drink it? Does it have any impact on the results of the creatinine level test? I'm just trying to make sure everything's good for accurate results.

drink 6 to 8 liters water per day

I'm really worried about my mom's health right now. She's been dealing with a urine infection and her creatinine levels got up to 6.62. Theyve come down to 5 in the last three months after treatment, but I'm still concerned. Her blood sugar is stable, but her hemoglobin has dropped to 7.1. She's been having 200ml of double toned milk and 50gm of chicken every day, along with other foods. I'm wondering if beans and peas are safe for her to eat. Also, I've heard about chamomile teado you think it might help lower her creatinine levels?
