Brief Answer:
Please upload the reports

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

A serum creatinine level is slightly raised. The normal level is upto 110 μmol/L. However, clinical correlation is needed to assess whether any intervention is needed.

I would request you to upload the ultrasound report. The stone could be leading to obstructive features leading to hydronephrotic changes and thus worsening of kidney function. The stone is the likely cause of haematuria. Further work up is needed to confirm on the present situation and requisite interventions.

Let me know if you have any specific queries.
