All laboratory/imaging results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, normal blood test results do not rule out some renal lesions. You may wish to consult a nephrologist. Wish you good health!
