Presence of protein in the urine raises the risk of loss of kidney function. It's most common in diabetics, hypertensives, as well as in certain glomerulonephritis. She must see a kidney specialist.
Protein loss in the urine means kidney disease. Most commonly due to diabetes
Protein in the urine is abnormal. It indicates kidney injury. One should know the amount of protein excreted in a 34-hr period. The physician can order a 24-hr urine collection for it or can do a spot urine protein:creatinine ratio. There are several causes for protein in urine. Diabetes is one of the most important and common reasons. Needs to find out the reason for proteinuria, and management depends on the cause. There are medicines to control it. In patients with hypertension and diabetes, controlling these diseases will improve proteinuria. Also, a low salt diet will help.
