Might indicate reduced kidney function, detailed kidney testing required

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Blood urea level shows the kidney function ability in a person and normal range is 7 - 20 mg/dL in most laboratories

2. Serum creatinine also shows the kidney function and has a normal range up to 1.4 mg/ dL in most laboratories

3. The values urea 89 (?mg/ dL) and creatinine 7 (?mg/ dL) are much above normal and might indicate reduced kidney function. Please compare with normal range as described by laboratory in the report.

4. Additional details on patient symptoms and diagnosis with names of medication prescribed is required to discuss in detail.

5. It is important to do detailed kidney function tests and know the functioning of each kidney.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
