Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Blood pressure 150/10 mm of Hg. ( high)
Total cholesterol 219 mg/dL ( upper limit high),
V L D L 183 mg / dL ( if it is vldl very very high, if trigyceride than it is also high)
Right kidney shrinkage as serum creatinine level is also high as in you case it is 1.4 mg /dL ( few agree that that not more than 1 mg/dL, while others say 1.3 mg )
Uric acid level is very high in your case (9.6 mg)
In my opinion right kidney is in danger so consult nephrologist and get his opinion.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
