History Of Diabetes And BP. Under Control. Test Showed Blood Urea And Serum Creatinine. Are My Kidneys Suffering?

Hello...I am a woman who is 53 years old..(look and feel 35) with a history of diabetes for the past 20 years (which was under control til the last 2 years) .and blood pressure for the past 3 years (under control). I do not face any problems or have any symptoms of kidneys problems. Recent tests have shown blood urea of 46 mg/dl and serum creatinine of 1.5mg/dl.

Does this mean that my kidneys are badly damaged while I do not have any symptoms?

Hello
welcome to health care magic
Thanks for your query
In the query you have mentioned that you are suffering from diabetes for the past 20 yrs and hypertension for the past 3 yrs..and those are under control..

Please check once your blood pressure and blood glucose levels..
Normal value of serum creatinine is 0.6-1.1 mg/dl in women. and you have 1.5
Normal value of blood urea is 6-21 mg/dl in women..and you have 46 mg/dl..
the cause for these elevations is mostly because of BP and blood sugar levels..
Check for the levels..
If they are normal means you should take water more than now..then your kidney levels will come to normal..
Consult physician for more suggestions
Thank you
