Hi
Thanks for the query.
It is difficult to diagnose if you have chronic kidney disease based on the information provided.
You need to repeat the blood tests as well as do urine exam and Ultrasound of the kidney and bladder.
Based on these tests and a careful analysis of your past history and medications etc.; a nephrologist would be able to comment if you have chronic kidney disease.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
