Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magic.
With these laboratory findings, you are in stage 4 of chronic kidney disease if that has persisted for more than 3 months. I would suggest you see a kidney specialist for better follow up.
I hope that answers your query. If you have any other question or follow up query do not hesitate to write to us.
I wish you good health.
