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 recently gotten my serum creatinine level checked, and it's at 1.13. Is this something to be worried about, or is it normal? I got these results last week, and I'm feeling a bit anxious. Could you please help me understand if there's anything I should be concerned about?

Your serum creatinine level of 1.13 mgdL is within the normal range for adults. The normal range for serum creatinine is approximately 0.6 to 1.3 mgdL for males and 0.5 to 1.1 mgdL for females. It is an important indicator of kidney function. To maintain healthy kidney function, it is important to stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and avoid excessive intake of medications that can harm the kidneys. If you have any concerns about your kidney health, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
