Brief Answer:
dont worry your kidneys are normally working
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
1. for your age and status any creatinine below 1.2mg/dl is normal. there will always be some variation in the reports as you have seen. If creatinine progressively rises then it is a concern.
2. albumin/ creatinine ration - both readings are normal. see carefully the units are microgram/mg. in this unit normal range will be till 20 to 30. but a rising trend should be monitored. better BP control closer to 130/80 and decrease salt and non veg in diet will help.
3. at present no signs of kidney disease. but high BP patients can develop kidney disease in 10% patients after 10 years of high BP. so we need to monitor maybe 3 monthly.
4. already explained
these problems are best tackled by a nephrologist or an internal medicine doctor.
overall, i will agree with your urologist, not to worry.
best wishes
