Common Questions and Answers about Low protein in blood high protein in urine

blood

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.

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.

I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and at about 20 weeks my ob found high levels of protein in my urine. They thought it was the early stages of preeclampsia and sent me to a high risk ob. I have no other symptoms of preeclampsia and have the general doctor community stumped. At my last ultra sound, the high risk ob had them do an ultra sound of my kidneys and found out that my left kidney is extremely enlarged. They now think that it is NOT preeclampsia but MSK.

and you would have albumin or protein in the urine. Low albumin/ low protein may also be caused by protein malnutrition. Since you have diabetes, be aware that starchy foods promote water absorption. When you absorb glucose, you also absorb sodium.....and that can cause the leg swelling. And you're taking Alinia....I don't know whether it could be causing protein to be lost from the intestines. So for you, diet and keeping your blood sugar under control is going to be very important.

My son has been thru blood tests also has had high eosinophils( very high) his White bl count has been low for 9 mos. he now has protein in urine and now going to see the kidney doc. so I will watch your posts and hope you get some answers.

Brucergoldberg, I apologize for my delayed response. I think that you are referring to a study called protein electropheresis? It is a blood (or urine) test that is often used to analyze proteins. Specifically, we use this test to look for abnormal proteins that may be present in your blood or urine. This test helps to characterize the type of abnormal protein that is present and further studies may be necessary to determine the amount of abnormal protein that is present.

Immediatly suspecting the worst I went to my endo and had her run the gamut of Blood and Urine tests on me to check for kidney damage. My creatine to Albumin ratio came back normal. However, when I'm convinced something is wrong with me I don't like to hear that I'm ok so I had her redo the test because everything I have ever read indicated that foamy urine is usually protien. It can back in the low ranges of normal for even a healthy person once again.

I started dieting ... low carbs, low sugar, mostly veggies but use whey protein bars AND whey protein powder for my high protein diet. I find that I am putting on weight and the pain in the finger joints is quite bad right now. What did you do to reverse this ? Should I just stop this protein intake ?

24 hr urine protein 197 (range 30-150) doc read history paper said bp is good looked at urine gave today and said .. high protein today also but "1000" is high to me. you seem healthy no reason for high protein. come back in 3 months. I asked for ultra sound on kidneys. he agreed. soooo..???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? hummm ....ok any opinion????

doc said he'll not worry about it unless i spill protein again next time. But having protein in urine can mean preeclampsia/toxemia or that something is up with my kidneys. i never thought i would have this much trouble with my 1st pregnancy! im young and relatively haelthy!

dear sir,my wife is 29+week pregnant now and has 3+ protein in urine,and she is suffering from pre eclampsia, B.P is fluctuating in a day as low as 120/90 and as high as 160/120,LDH,Uric acid,Platelets in serum are in normal range. using Methyl dopa 500mg Nifedipine Retard 20mg thrice a day and labetalol 100mg twice a day.but blood presuure is getting controlled,one day cardiologist suggested a diuretic 20 mg as a stat dose,immediately then b.

Infection can be in the kidney, bladder, ureters and urethra. Presence of blood and high protein in urine is an indication of renal impairment. I would suggest that you get a serum creatinine level and a check of 24 hour urine protein level to determine the exact level of protein and there by the level of damage to the kidney due to recurrent infections. Tumors in the urinary tract usually present with a painless bleeding in the tract. Consult a urologist for further assistance. Best.

I also had microscopic red blood cells that i don't think was very high but high enough. I also did a 24hr urine test and about the same results showed up. My regular doctor said something about a low autoimmune disorder that probably wouldn't affect me in my lifetime but he sent me to a nephrologist just to be sure. I also went to a urlogist where they checked inside my bladder with a very painful scope and found nothing. They also ran dye through me and did a ctscan..

how high was your protein. I just got results back from spinal tap the my total protein is 113. does anyone know what that could be. also my spinal pressure was 3.

He is very health, has been lifting weights for the past year, healthy diet, weighs 185LB and has no medical problems beside this issue, and has no complaints. He keeps himself well hydrated and has no problem urinating and or blood in his urine. He is scheduled for a ultrasound of his kidney next week. Blood work has been taken to check for lupus. I'm worried it may be lupus, what else can cause the abnormal levels?? please help.

I just got the results of my routine blood and urine test. The doctor is saying I have a 4% risk factor for stroke or heartattack. Since 2005 my cholesterol has changed.

I had low blood pressure with my first and before we could leave the hospital it became very high and stayed that way for 6 months and then went back to normal, then with my second it got high around 6 months and I started getting trace amounts of protein in my urine so they put me on a blood pressure medicine and we made it to 39 weeks for our scheduled c-section without pre-eclampsia.

You said she has low blood pressure, but I wonder if that is the result of a rebound of the high blood pressure medication? I am also wondering about if your dog does have low blood pressure and as you stated low BUN, read up on Low Thyroid.

Is anyone else suffering with high blood pressure? No protein detected in urine so I don't think it's pre aclampsia. How are u all trying to bring it down?

if your test were negitive for std then you have nothing to worry about and can continue with your regular partner. WBC can be high if you have too much protein in your urine it doesn't mean you have an STD you need to do as vance recommended and follow up with your doctor. You can't get chlamydia from oral and your testing for gono was negitive.

I called the medical clinic today to get my test results, and was told that my CBC is low, and that I have protein in my urine - but what's bothering me more than anything right now is they told me I have squamous cells in my urine (apparently not uncommon), but the levels are sky-high (normal range 0-5 - mine is 200) - I am having trouble researching this on online, and was wondering if someone on this site has heard of this and can give me a clue as to what it might be, or point me in the righ

in a week from water alone!) I too have never had protein in my urine and this was the first time my blood pressure was high. They ran some blood work for pre-eclampsia which came back negative. I was put on bedrest as well to combat the high BP and swelling. A few days later when I went back to the doctor my BP was fine, but my swelling was still out of control. Again, no protein in my urine. I am being induced tomorrow because of the swelling. But, point is...

If your proteins are abnormal, or you are losing protein via the urine, your body doesn't have enough proteins to maintain the base line and you may acquire diabetes. If your urine tests are normal, have kidney a ultrasound (with and without dyes) done to see about stones or other abnormalities that may not be showing up on the urine test.
