Hi Edithr,
I drink at least 64 oz of water daily. It is also very important that he is well hydrated on the day of the test to avoid false readings. I would watch his creatinine and BUN. Also, you could ask for a simple urine test to check for protein in it, if you are really concerned. I consulted with a nephrologist who recommended checking urine every 6 months while on cyclosporine.
Did he still have the tingling feeling while taking 225mg twice a day? A little increase can make a big difference in side effects (and vica-versa)!
