s and my blood pressure is slowly starting to rise, so I am currently on Lisinopril for the hypertension. As for the biopsy, it is a relativley simple procedure, although frightening when you are younger. As for the disease, it is always in the back of my mind.. Doctors say that I am one of the "lucky" ones because my case is considered mild and it is not aggressive.
The normal range for BUN (at my hospital) is 8.0 - 24.0. Sounds like yours borderline high on the normal range. The foam in your urine, does it manifest with frequency? it can be an indication of high level of protein in your urine. I would suggest for you to drink more water but with your heart condition that might not be the best route. You should consult with your doctor again about your kidney just to be safe. Prolong proteinuria can be harmful for your kidney.
About seven months ago, my primary doctor put me on a Ace-Inhibitor med called Lisinopril to see if this would stop the protein leakage. Unfortunately it did not work and he ordered a 24 hr. urine test. The results are as follows:
Protein, Total, Urine Reference Interval
Flag 21.4 H mg/dL 0.0 - 15.0
Flag 192.6 H mg/24 hr 30.0 - 150.0
My primary doctor is know referring me to an Urologist. He thinks that I may have Nephrotic Syndrome.
3 for the past 5 years. It was 1.1-1.2 for the first 5 years. Sometimes I wonder if I really have anything at all. I know excessive protein in the urine is not normal, but are there other diseases that cause proteinuria?

Wouldn't know I had anything wrong if it weren't for the scans.
20 mg in 7 am , and 20 mg Lisinopril in 7 pm (so total = 40 mg Lisinopril per day). During the day (systolic) hypertension goes 150-160 mmHg and only in 2-4pm it is 130 mmHg (and at 10-12 pm). What should be done for this patient. Maybe trying a diuretic (hydrochlorthiazid) and lowering the dose of Lisinopril? Please tell what do you think of the doses to start trying, how often and when during the day? (P.S.
I have very high proteinuria, and from what I understand this causes serum albumin levels to decrease. Right now my level of proteinuria is around 3 to 4 grams a day, and my serum albumin is slightly high at around 5.3 g/dL. Typically how high can my proteinuria get before I see a noticeable drop in serum albumin?
If you are wondering, I do not have dehydration. I drink over 3 liters of water a day.
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.
I am being monitored weekly for my platlet levels and liver enzymes, I guess when those go abnormal I would be delivering my baby.
You may have proteinuria. It just means that some of the proteins you've ingested are being pushed out of your body as waste. Well, you'll most always have some protein in your urine, as trace amounts of protein are excreted in your urine as part of normal urine production. The concern is when you have TOO MUCH protein in your urine. This is a symptom known as proteinuria. How can you tell when you have too much protein in your urine?
I am a professional violinist and recently developed an essential tremor in my bow arm which interferes greatly with my playing. My neurologist tried primidone but it has helped only a little. I asked if he could put me on Inderal which I understand can help with essential tremor.
However -- the doctor pointed out that I am already on lisinopril (for hypertension) which, he claimed, ALSO is effective in treating essential tremor.

His last Microalbumin/creatine ratio was 65, kidney doc put him on Lisinopril 2.5 mg. how long will it take for his Microalbumin/creatine ratio to drop or even go back to normal? I'm just curious if it will take weeks,months or years!
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.
However, persistently foamy urine can be a sign of protein in your urine (proteinuria), which requires further evaluation. Large amounts of protein in urine may indicate a serious kidney problem.
If you're concerned about foamy urine, consult your doctor. He or she may recommend a urine analysis, which can detect protein in urine. If protein is detected in your urine, your doctor likely will recommend additional tests to determine the cause.
My husband sweats a lot when exercising and playing golf. He takes Lisinopril and he has had several episodes of lightheadedness, nausea and vomiting, and low BP while playing golf. Are there other classes of anti-hypertensives that don't result in hypotension DT excessive sweating? He's also had 7 kidney stones in the last 5 months. Could Lisinopril and his excessive sweating be a contributing factor?
