Question

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.

What fruit is good for kidneys?

Question

I've just had a routine ultrasound and it turns out my left kidney is now just 7.5 cm, even though my right one seems to be normal. When I had a scan about five years ago, the left kidney was 10 cm. I also did a urine test that showed 100 mgdL of protein and my serum creatinine level is at 1.24. Should I be worried about this? Could this be Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?
