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.

Lemon should not increase Uric acid level and should not increase the serum creatinine level. It will increase citrate elimination in the urine which can decrease the rate of kidney stone formation.

I'm really worried about this pain I've been having in my kidney area. It's been going on for the past three years, and I just don't know what to do anymore. Along with that, I've been needing to urinate a lot more frequently, and there's this severe pain in my legs, especially in my leg fingers. It's really affecting my day-to-day life. Can you suggest what might be going on or what steps I should take next?
