You have to update all other reports for more clarity. It needs regular monitoring at this juncture. You have to take all the precautions so that it does not affect your kidney function. The best way forward is to go for regular health check up with your doctor and do the tests as suggested. Be punctual to take the medicines and follow a disciplined and healthy lifestyle.

Add an exercise schedule to your daily routine. At your age daily brisk walk for 30 to 40 minutes would do wonders to your stamina. Swimming again is a very good exercise if the facility is available. Eat less salt/ have good morning breakfast, good lunch but a very light and low calorie dinner/use vegetable oil and that too in a less quantity/Avoid sweets even if you are not diabetic/reduce carbohydrates/ drink lots of water/ and whenever hungry in between the meals try to have green salad. Take a professional advise regarding calorie consumption, if possible. Avoid taking any medications for weight loss.
