Avatar m tn ​What exactly are the abnormal lab values that have lead to the diagnosis of MGUS and Proteinuria? Lab indicators of too much protein in blood and urine? If I am understanding correctly, they have no symptoms​​ (other than possible tingling/numbness with MGUS), are not generally serious conditions, and are found quite secondarily of other lab tests.​ ​ When you say, "...have felt like everyone else", do you mean muscle/bone pain​, ​fatigue​, and never feeling well again​?
Avatar m tn I live a healthy lifestyle (regular exercise, healthy diet). One year ago it was discovered that I had proteinuria. I had proteinuria on 2 subsequent tests and on my 24 urinalysis. My GP consulted a nephrologist and was told to monitor bloodwork, urine and BP every 4 months for a year, then every 6 months and then yearly afterwards. Most recently, when I had my tests done and my eGFR is now 84, creatinine (urine) = 26.8 and ACR = 59.7.
Avatar f tn It is supposed to help greatly with heart function and energy, I have heard. Does anyone here take it or any professionals have opinions on this? Thanks.
Avatar m tn Additional diagnostic tests such as glomerular filtration rate, renal ultrasound, and possible intravenous urography and serological screening for autoantibodies and complement level. Hope this helps. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn he said i should consult specialist but when i told him that i had an open surgery for appendicitis he said this might be the reason and i should wait 1 month more and do urine analysis again if again positive consult specialist afterwords. My question is presence of protien in urine is due to surgery or not and should i consult my surgeon or specialist immediately.

Ask your midwife to explain the result if you're not sure what it means for you. Depending on the proteinuria levels, your midwife may bring forward your next antenatal appointment. She'll check again to see if there's still protein present, and whether the amount has increased.
Avatar f tn As long as one of the barriers is impaired or damaged, protein will leak into urine and thus form proteinuria. For people with Nephrotic Syndrome, large amounts of protein spill and into urine just because of damaged glomerular filtration membrane. Without effective charge barrier and mechanical barrier, glomerular filtration membrane can not stop protein passing through.
Avatar n tn Also, I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. I am currently taking levodopa and adalat xl and my blood pressure is controlled with restricted activity (140's/80's). However, when I walk short distances ie: bathrrom or kicthen my blood pressure shuts up to 160's/90's and above. What should be my next step medically? I am being monitored weekly for my platlet levels and liver enzymes, I guess when those go abnormal I would be delivering my baby.
Avatar f tn Is lupron depot birth control 3months shot 3.75mg causes proteinuria. Please advice I m 37yrs old and got left ovary n both fallopian tubes removed as per my gynecologist toke lupron depot 3.
Avatar m tn Hi there, I have always had bubbles in my urine, at least for the last 8 years. Recently I went to the doctor for a urinalysis because I read about the correlation between kidney disease and proteinuria. I'm unsure as to whether my bubbles are caused by protein. My test results indicated that no proteins were present in my urine specimen. My creatinine serum is 1.0. My GFR is 97.6 ml/min/1.73 msg. I'm wondering- will my GFR hold steady in the 90's?
Avatar n tn Proteinuria caused by eating too much protein in your diet is, of course, temporary, and the proteinuria should diminish as you reduce the amount of protein you are consuming. Hope this helps. I would try cutting back your protein first and then consult a physician if it doesn't get any better.
Avatar f tn His blood and urine was tested and came back normal apart from slight proteinuria and elevated ESR.
Avatar n tn Excess protein in the urine is called as proteinuria and usually it is albumin that is lost through urine. Some protein is normal in the urine. A 24 hour estimation of protein loss in urine would be optimal to estimate the level of proteinuria. Conditions which can cause proteinuria are nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, dehydration, collagen vascular diseases, strenuous exercises, diabetes mellitus, infections, multiple myeloma etc.
Avatar n tn My husband is suffering with kidney stones and he got surgery for 3 times (only right kidney and left kidney is normal and no stones and it is functioning properly) and after that his body got swollen completely and after many checkups including biopsy, it is determined that he is losing proteins due to the dysfunction in the filteration of Kidney. Now he is loosing 11 gms of proteins when he undergone protein loss check up. His legs, stomach and face is completely swelling.
Avatar f tn i am concerned about the proteinuria which appears nephrotic in range. Active HBV could affect the kidney in this manner. HBV could also lead to liver cancer and lesions in the liver if it is active. If the HBV is active you definitely need to receive treatment for it. I am assuming that you do not have anything bad in the liver so would urge you to addfress the proteinuria. You should unequivocally be seeing a nephrologist.

Avatar n tn urine often indicates proteinuria, there can be other causes. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and retrograde ejaculation are 2 that come to mind. With your recent urinary symptoms and back pain, a UTI is most likely. In men, the most common source of the infection is the prostate gland (prostatitis).” Refer: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/foamy-urine/AN01702 http://en.allexperts.com/q/Urology-Male-issues-989/foamy-urine.htm It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage.
Avatar m tn Well i am 15 years of age. Male. And today i went o the doctor had a psyical done. and everything checked out and the doctor said i was a very healthy individual. but he found traces of protein in my urine. and he wants me to pee in a cup before i go to bed,at night if i have to,and in the morning when i wake up. and then my mother is to take it back to him.
1527017 tn?1291671470 Urine protein testing is used to help evaluate and monitor kidney function, and to help detect and diagnose early kidney damage and disease. If the level is high, the doctor may order a secondary test to determine which proteins are being excreted and in what quantities. Greater than 1200 appears high. However, rereading your post I am unsure if you are mixing the tests urine protein against urine keytones?
Avatar n tn In an additional 33 patients, glomerular and tubular NEP protein levels from renal graft biopsies were significantly higher among the 13 patients receiving cyclosporine + EC-MPS than among the 12 patients receiving cyclosporine + azathioprine or 8 patients receiving cyclosporine alone. Glomerular NEP expression inversely correlated with glomerulosclerosis and proteinuria, and tubular NEP expression inversely correlated with interstitial fibrosis.
Avatar f tn We were called into the office and advised that my son has proteinuria and that he has to get further tests in both his urine and blood and then most likely see a kidney specialist and possibly have a renal biopsy done. Of course, I'm very concerned over this. My son appears to be in excellent health, is very atheletic and his intial bloodwork was fine. No blood was found in his urine.
1973666 tn?1325964688 He may do tests like urine analysis, blood tests, X rays, ultrasonography, CT scan and sometimes cystoscopy to detect the cause for proteinuria. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
