Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
You've not written your age,gender or medication,you're taking.
You should get the following tests done,after check-up with a nephrologist.
1. urine routine,culture and ACR or 24 hours protein.
2. blood routine,creatinine,RBS,LFT,uric acid,platelets and electrolytes.
3. Ultrasound-KUB. The shooting pain to your finger,may be a neuropathy.
