Is it normal that I (27f) need to pee immediately after drinking water?

My urinalysis came back somewhat abnormal and they’re gonna retest to see if I really have CKD because there is protein and leukocytes and hyaline casts in my urine and my albumin to creatinine ratio is higher than it should be.

But in the meantime I’ve been told to drink much more water but the problem is I feel like I have to pee every 5 mins! This obviously isn’t ideal at work but I also don’t want to be dehydrated and fuck up my kidneys.

Will my body adjust to more fluid after a bit and need to pee less or is this just something I’ll have to deal with now lol

27f, 5’6, 135lbs, no major physical health concerns besides low iron prior to this result
