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?

-Yes, your kidney sizes are within the normal range for an adult. Kidneys typically measure 8-12 cm in length and 3-5 cm in width, so your measurements are fine for your age.

I've noticed over the last few months that my urine sometimes appears foamy, especially when I first wake up or during the night. The foaminess variessometimes it's pretty thick, other times it's just mild, and occasionally it's not foamy at all. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this?

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been dealing with heart issues and diabetes for over four years, and now his latest checkup showed his creatinine levels are up. I'm curious if there are specific foods, maybe certain types of millet or anything else, that might help lower his creatinine. Also, I'm a bit confused about how much fluid he should actually be drinking.

I'm a bit anxious about my recent lab tests. I got both LFT and KFT done, and I'm really concerned about the creatinine and uric acid levels. My creatinine came back at 1.1, and my uric acid is at 7.2. I had chickenpox last December, so I'm wondering if those levels are okay or if I should be worried. What should I do next? I've attached my report for reference.
