RE: Strange creatinine, protein in urine, and GFR fluctuations.
It is unlikely that uric acid elevation alone is causing kidney disease. In fact, it's more likely that reduced eGFR causes uric acid to accumulate and might lead to gout. I don't have enough information to comment on the nature of your brother's kidney...RE: Foamy urine for probably a year?
the morning and it may go to NOTHING at all during the day. I've been so obsessed with that thing DAMN! Felt like wasting 6 months out of my life. I was drinking a LOT OF DAMN coffee. And no that i've read your stories i'm gonna go straight and cut out...RE: urine microalbumin
The urine ACR or albumin to creatinine ratio is often calculated as a way of eliminating the impact of urinary dilution or concentration on the assessment of protein excretion on a spot urine. When urinary albumin is undetectable, or presumed to be...RE: What should I do. Missed kidney cysts 7 years ago
cysts are small round sacs filled with clear fluid or air. Simple kidney cysts will be seen in any other investigations, in Ultrasound KUB, CT scan, and MRI these are not harmful until burst and bleed, or grows big, and presses other organs. These cysts...RE: Microalbuminuria after an AKI episode
That level of microalbuminuria could be due to tubular injury/dysfunction or low-grade glomerular injury on account of your background of hypertension. Fortunately, that is a very small level of albuminuria which can easily be managed with blood...RE: Abnormally low urine creatinine, and unable to calculate Albumin/Creatinine Ratio (urine albumin less than the lower limit)?
Quoted from Guest on Thursday, 13 April 2023 This is a little different . Sorry if I'm in the wrong place. Yesterday I had a blood test. This morning I got the results from my online lab account. eGFR was 82, and Creatinine was 64. I'm 75 yrs of age....RE: Abnormally low urine creatinine, and unable to calculate Albumin/Creatinine Ratio (urine albumin less than the lower limit)?
so much for your response. I do not have polycystic kidney disease. Actually, I had exactly the same result last July as the 1st writer on this blog. I'm with the understanding that eGFR can decline with age. As mentioned my eGFR score on Wed. was 82,...RE: Abnormally low urine creatinine, and unable to calculate Albumin/Creatinine Ratio (urine albumin less than the lower limit)?
was measured in Mg/g, I don't have the lab sheet right now but basically the urine albumin was normal at 60 and his kidney function tests were normal. His DM is under well control with HGBA1C of 6.1% and fasting sugars 91. His NP said that its nothing...RE: Bubbles in urine
Quoted from Guest on Wednesday, 05 February 2025 Thank you so much for your clarification!! And these can be done on a spot urine test correct? That is correctuACR difference and doubts
