I'm kind of worried about my recent lab results. My creatinine level is 1.5, and the 24-hour urine protein is at 416 mg. The DMSA scan also showed some renal parenchymal dysfunction with cortical scars. Should I be concerned about these numbers, and what do they actually mean for my kidney health?

Your test results indicate chronic kidney disease (CKD) with impaired renal function (elevated creatinine), significant proteinuria (416 mg24h), and evidence of renal parenchymal damage with cortical scars on DMSA scan, warranting further evaluation and management by a nephrologist to slow disease progression.
