Avatar n tn I suffer from high "protein in urine" or high creatinine levels, now it's 2.4, but it was higher. I reccommend you read Dr. Walser's book on a low-protein, low-phoshorus diet to avoid dialysis. Your kidney doctor will probably tell you to go on a low-protein diet, but won't give you specifics. Dr. Walser's book explains the diet. It's rather hard diet to stick with, but beats the alternative.
5889951 tn?1380316047 If you have protein in your urine but your blood pressure is normal, your sample will be sent to the lab for a culture to see whether you have a UTI.
Avatar f tn I have traces if protein in my urine as well and had high blood pressure. Doctor made me pee in a jug for a whole day and turn it in. turned out I had a uti. Never had one before and heard they were painful. I told doctor that I wasn't in any pain or discomfort. My doctor said because we are pregnant some symtoms won't show. So it really could. Be a uti. Don't worry to much about it.
Avatar f tn If your blood pressure is high and you have protein in your urine it's because your kidneys are not functioning properly to filter the protein out. Protein in your urine without high blood pressure is usually due to diet, dehydration, or something preexisting.
Avatar f tn You're blood pressure would be up if you had pre eclampsia. That's what pre-eclampsia is high blood pressure. There are many reasons you could have protein in your urine. It's a problem if it's there in high amounts several times. If you have sex before your sample (even the night before) it can cause protein to show in your urine.
Avatar f tn Well when my doctor said that I was leaking protein in my urine I also had high blood pressure so I had the condition called toxemia, and had to be admitted in the hospital for a week until I turned 37 weeks and than be induced, but don't worry because if you had that you will also have high blood pressure and your doctor would have told you. Just pray to God that you won't have toxemia but if you do don't worry about it!
Avatar f tn I have high levels of protein in my urine @ 35 weeks. anyone else? what has your doctor told you about it?
Avatar m tn very high protein in urine is not uncommon in late stage kidney disease, if this were the case though and to be that high, you should ahve other tell tale symptoms, I really would get a simple blood test to check your kidney function though.
1305271 tn?1320984748 Sometimes, when your body is under some type of stress, they can malfunction and let things like protein and glucose sneak through (which they should not). Protein in the urine is something they monitor in pregnancy esp if there is high blood pressure because it can indicate pre-eclampsia (along with high BP) or some type of stress on the body.
8408613 tn?1414894692 Wondering the same thing here. They been telling me I've had protein in my urine for about 3 months now.
9455625 tn?1412820762 Have protein(ketones) in your urine means you aren't eating enough, so your body is using up fat reserves as a source of energy, therefore meaning your body is in starvation mode
Avatar f tn Pre eclampsia means my body is not producing enough blood for whatever reason which is making my liver and kidneys over work so my body is not absorbing protein. High protein in urine can be extremely dangerous for me and baby. Causing seizures or other heart problems. My protein is border line which means they caught it early. A sign of it is high BP which is how they knew to test my urine.
Avatar f tn You may also need 24 hours urine test, random protein to creatinine ratio to check the kidney status and a serum and urine protein electrophoresis test to determine which proteins are being excreted and in what quantities. Sometimes, some proteins will appear in the urine if the levels of protein in blood become high, even when the kidney is functioning properly. I suggest you to discuss these investigations with your urologist and get them done. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
Avatar f tn So im 30 wks and i went to dr today and they found protein and white blood cells in my urine... My blood pressure was good but still worried about pre eclampsia. I feel like i had it undiagnosed with my first and have been worrying about getting it this time. Then with protein in my urine im getting even more worried. Any insite?
Avatar f tn But he said there was protein in my urine so now I have to take the 24 hours urine test. Any thoughts on actually having preclampsia without having high blood pressure. I haven't changed in dilation or effacing at all since last week.
4503521 tn?1400858886   If your urine sample contains high levels of protein, and your blood pressure is raised, your midwife may take a blood sample. This will check your blood count, clotting, kidney and liver function. If your midwife is concerned about your proteinuria levels, or any other symptoms you have, she may send you straight to your local maternity unit for more tests. You should get the results within four hours. If the proteinuria is found to be at safe levels, you'll be able to go home again.
Avatar f tn I am a ftm due in July and have already been in the hospital once for contractions, I was kept overnight. Well today I was looking at my urine results from my appointment today. It showed I have 1+ for urine protein & trace for urine leukocyte esterase. My doctors nurse called me to discuss what it means but I missed the call. Help!! Has anyone else had this? I read it can be a sign of preclampseia!
Avatar f tn Last time I went to midwife 9th jan I had protein in urine sample they sent it of and I had a uti.
Avatar n tn I had high protein 2 weeks ago. Tested again this week and it was normal. Most women test high at some point in pregnancy, doesn't mean anything unless you get more than one in a row. I hadn't eaten much 2 weeks ago, that was probably the reason it was high for me. Dehydration can be another reason. Odds are you have nothing to worry about, just take it as it comes. Good luck, and congrats on the baby!
1527017 tn?1291671470 However, rereading your post I am unsure if you are mixing the tests urine protein against urine keytones? Keytones present in the urine means your body is expelling excess sugar via your urinary tract. Are you diabetic or being considered a diabetic? Best to call your doctors office for an explanation.
Avatar m tn i am facing the foaming in my urine. after test the little protein is highlighted and some time the blood symptoms also there. but the problem is that i have no such pain in my kidneys or penis or testicles or any other place but because of protein in urine my body is shrinking.i am looking weaker then before and my hairs also falling rapidly. i have no idea what should i do? i go to doctor for checkup but it won't works. please any suggestion share with me. thanks.
Avatar f tn Sounds like pre-eclampsia. Where you have high blood pressure and protein in your urine! Definitely try to get an ultrasound in ASAP, after they tell you if you have it or not they will monitor you either weekly or bi-weekly! Good luck sweetie, hope all goes well.
Avatar n tn Even a mild urine infection can cause traces of protein in the urine ie protein is found in blood and with a uti it is common to have a small amount of blood in the urine - hence trace of protein as well. have a urine test done to outrule infection and have your kidney function measured by a simple blood test ;) re the altter ie blood test, even one poor egfr can also be the result of a uti!!!!! you need to show a steady pattern of poor egfr to indicate ckd.
