What sodium and water targets are you actually aiming for?

I've been tracking sodium for about a month now and aiming for under 2,000 mg/day and 80-90 oz of water. My urologist set those based on my Litholink results.
But I've seen a huge range in this sub, and on [kidney.org](http://kidney.org), mayo, etc. Some site say 1,500, others 2,300. Same with water - anywhere from 2L to 4L per day.
What targets did your doctor give you, and are you actually hitting them? Curious how much this varies person to person.

Stone Fighter #F48373Apr 12, 2026My doctor said 2.5 liters of water, and did not specify sodium intake other than just lowering it. I've been doing 3-4 liters of water, and aiming for between 2000-1500 for sodium since I was certainly consuming way more than that before.
Stone Fighter #2EEB2FApr 12, 20263L of water a day. I don’t track my sodium by quantity cause I find that depressing. I just try to cook more at home and watch for the sodium % on products. I’m also mindful about salty foods and try to moderate.
Stone Fighter #E224F2Apr 13, 2026Similar to where I’m at. My urologist gave me a specific number based on my Litholink — 2,000mg ceiling. Interesting that yours didn’t specify. The 3-4L of water is impressive though, I’m still working to stay consistent at 2-3L.
