If you suspect kidney issues, first consult a doctor. Once they clear you, gentle walking and keeping yourself hydrated is great, but don't do heavy workouts until you get your blood creatinine reports checked.
It can be really scary to worry about kidney health. Honestly, the easiest way to find out is by getting a basic Kidney Function Test (KFT) and a urine test. It is super simple and will clear all your doubts.
