Hi,

The creatinine, uric acid levels are not too concerning in your mother's case. Moreover, the normal imaging study results are also very reassuring. The eGFR (GFR estimated from serum creatinine levels) have a high probability of giving false low GFR levels.

So, I would advise repeating the kidney function test and urine analysis in 3 months. If eGFR still remain at concerning levels then further studies including measured GFR are warranted. Please be advised to discuss this with her treating physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
