What Does This Blood Test Report Indicate?

I had a blood test done lase week Friday for my kidney reading. I was told today over the phone that my reading level is 1.28 instead of a normal reading of 1.17. I take lisnopril and hydrochlorotiazide for blood pressure, I drink a lot of water everyday, I don t drink nor smoke. what might be the cause for the high reading

hello, from the value of report and you mentioning kidney reading i assume its serum creatinine report. If it is so, normal range is of creatinine is upto 1.2. As far as the report is concerned, 1.17 and 1.28 wont make much difference, they are pretty much in normal range.
You are already taking anti hypertensive medications for your BP which you should take regularly.
Keep yourself well hydrated with water, and repeat serum creatinine after 15 days to check whether values have gone up or down.
If it is increased it might suggest some kidney damage going on and you need to see a nephrologist for the same.
I hope i have answered your query. thank you
