Creatinine 1.31 is slightly high. May be due to dehydration, high protein diet, or early kidney stress. Repeat KFT, and drink more water. Consult if rising further.

In my urine test report, albumin is reported as +. Is this serious or not? I do not have kidney stones.

Hi, from a recent blood report, my eGFR was 80 and creatinine was 0.92. I have no discomfort or pain during urination. Is there any cause for concern? Should I consult a urologist? I am a 36 year old Indian female.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have less hunger and visited a consultant. My creatinine level is greater than 10. The size of my kidneys has decreased: right kidney 8.8 cm, left kidney 8.5 cm. Cortical echogenicity is raised in both kidneys. The pelvicalyceal system is normal in both kidneys. What does this indicate?
