RE: Foamy urine
for protein then it is unlikely that you have abnormal amounts in the urine - there is always a small amount under normal conditions. To confirm the dipstick accuracy and to ensure all possible proteins were captured, you might consider doing either a...RE: uACR result please respond sir.
thank you so much for taking some time out of your busy schedule to address my situation i really do appreciate. Concerning my result do you believe I must be excreting more amount of protein compared to that on my result?in other words maybe lab test...RE: 24 urine result
for the answer. I dont have diabetes or high blood preasure, nor someone in family had kidney problems. Btw.i also posted before two results of 24h urine which were aroing 65mg, this last one jumps on 145mg. Other checks on blood, gfr, creatinine were...RE: 24 urine result
amount of proteinuria where is 65 or 145 mg. In fact, many labs will allow up to 200 mg of total protein in a 24 hour collection before flagging it as abnormal. Your particular lab used 140 mg which you just barely exceeded. So given the other...RE: Urine results constant urge to urinate
CT scan without contrast and cystoscopy was done almost 2 years ago. I don't believe my urinary protein was checked but at that time there was no protein in urine on dipstick, this was a new finding this time around. but GFR was normal last checked in...RE: Lab test shows 703 Microalbum. Home dipstick test perhaps different?
there, Based on your readings and manipulating the units, your albumin to creatinine ratio is 42.6 mg/mmol. This amount of protein is abnormal and does suggest that some amount of damage has occurred, either due to hypertension, diabetes, excess weight...RE: what do the test results mean?
tests are indeed normal. The most important item on that screen is the albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) as integrates the two tests above it. Based on a normal ACR, there would be no reason to label you as having kidney disease. The other test of...RE: Foamy urine.
Question 1) Ok so seeing reports its clear that its not proteinuria ,then why is my urine foamy?is that 91mg/24hr protein foaming my urine? if yes is 91mg/24 hours urine protein normal? or it should be 0? protein should be completely absent in urine...RE: Adult-hypertension-cretanine level and protien discharge is high.
A creatinine of 2.6 in a 27y year-old non-black male represents an eGFR of 32 ml/min. This is a significantly reduced level of kidney function and must be evaluated by a nephrologist as you might have an underlying kidney disease that led to your high...RE: Kidney damage
your reports. I did not post them above but have read them. You have a very small amount of glomerular scarring and actually only a minimal amount of proteinuria based on your latest ACR of 13.5. Very often with biopsy reports such as this, we never...RE: Can I excercise?
Thank you for replying My Uncle on my Fathers side was diabetic but otherwise there is no family history of any of the above. The doctor tested by blood gluscose levels and they were normal. My BP is about 125 over 80 (although I do seem to get postural...RE: Can I excercise?
limits of the label) should be discouraged if you have kidney disease not otherwise explained. Fortunately, your kidney function levels have not changed over the course of 10 years (according to your remarks above) and protein levels in the urine are...RE: APR 2306
Sorry, is the hand-written result the current one? As in 2306 mg/g? In that case it would represent a very significant level of proteinuria that could reflect a recurrence of membranous. If it is only 263 as on the typed report, then this is much less...RE: Urine Dipstick Accuracy
dipsticks rely on checking for visual color change, most often judged by the human eye and occasionally by machine. If the level of protein is very minimal, some might call it positive (or trace) while others judge it to be negative. The best way to...RE: SGLT2i and hyperkalemia
hyperkalemia is caused by the lack of stimulation of the Na+/K+ ATPase on the basolateral side of the PCT cells. If SGLT2 is inhibited, then there is less glucose and sodium being reabsorbed in the PCT. This means less Na+ available for the Na+/K+ pump...RE: SGLT2i and hyperkalemia

I can't comment on what another doctor did or didn't say. What I can say is that the level of kidney function is indeed very much reduced and its cause should be investigated and hopefully treated. Unfortunately, the post does not provide any...RE: Normal but increasing creatinine
don’t know if I have any protein in my urine now, but my most recent serum albumin was 4.6 (I know this doesn’t rule out Microalbuminuria). My urinary protein was negative in all pregnancies but the last one. And it was positive on a dipstick right...RE: Normal but increasing creatinine
Knowing your urinary protein is an important variable. If you have none, then whatever is going on will likely have an indolent course. If your kidney function stabilizes at this level and you lack proteinuria then in my opinion, there is little cause...
