These values are abnormal but must be interpreted in the setting of medical diagnoses, medication and prior lab results. Please see your primary care provider. S/he will obtain a comprehensive history and physical, obtain blood and urine tests, and should review all with you prior to making any changes. Best wishes.

I can give you a better advice if you can tell me your weight and race (although race may not be applied in the near future), your medical history (history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiac problem, proteinuria ...) and your serum creatinine in the previous years (2019, 2020). Otherwise, you should request a nephrology evaluation.
