My routine urine examination showed 30 mg/L protein. Should I be worried?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I will advise you to check UPCR (urine protein to creatinine ratio) and evaluate fundus for diabetic retinopathy or hypertension retinopathy. Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

From the reports (attachments removed to protect patient's identity), it seems that kidney function is normal. Protein more than 300 mg/day is worrisome. To rule out the effect of diabetes on kidneys, check your retina because 70 % (percent) of retinopathy have nephropathy. And if the retina is normal, there are fewer chances of affection of kidney due to DM (diabetes mellitus).

I will advise you to do 24-hour urine protein for better prediction, ultrasound KUB (kidney, ureter, and bladder), and renal artery Doppler.

Revert with the above information, and feel free to ask any query.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I saw your reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity).

UACR (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio) is normal.

Target HbA1c upto 7.5%.

Take the tablet Febustat 40 mg if liver function and serum uric acid level are normal.

If you have any symptoms, get the fundus checked.
