Hi and welcome to HCM. Kindly see a nephrologist asap if you have not done already. Depending on the level of creatinine, kidney size and urine tests your husband will most likely need a kidney biopsy to find out the cause of his problem(s). The nephrologist will make an overall assessment and guide you about the amount of permissible fluid intake as well.
