Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have only one kidney. Your serum creatinine level is ok. But your uric acid level is slightly high. You should take drug like allopurinol. It will help to excrete uric acid. There is no harm in that. Avoid high protein diet. Because it increase the uric acid level.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
