I'm a bit worried about my recent kidney function blood test results. I had it done yesterday, and I saw that my serum creatinine is 0.9 mgdl, BUN is at 10.16 mgdl, uric acid level is 2.7 mgdl, and calcium is 9.34 mgdl. What's got me concerned is that the uric acid level is below the normal range. Is this something I should be worried about or get treated? By the way, I only have my right kidney because I had a nephrectomy on my left kidney at birth. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been diagnosed with IgA nephropathy and Im kind of worried about whats coming next. My creatinine levels jumped to 3.9 but are back down to 1.9 with the help of steroids. Im following a renal diet and keeping my salt intake under 5 grams. The steroids are being tapered off and should be stopped by the end of this month. I'm also on telmisartan and metoprolol for blood pressure control. My uric acid levels are at 8, which is higher than normal, but all my other minerals are looking good according to the prescription ranges. Can you give me some insight into what I might expect with this disease in the future and any advice on how I can keep things under control?

I'm 22 and I'm kind of worried about my kidney sizes. My right kidney is measuring 7932mm and the left one is at 8333mm. Is that normal, or should I be concerned?
