High urinary protein

Hi,

My urine protein has been steadily rising since September.  It is up to 400 now.  The upper limit is 150.  So I am being followed by a kidney dr and just had a renal Doppler ultrasound.  I am confused what is going on with my kidneys.  My other kidney markers are perfect.  Blood kidney markers are perfect except for urine protein is high.  Anybody have any Ida's?  Thanks

    It is probably due to kidney damage.  How do I find that out and how can I improve my kidney function? Thanks

    It is really only your doctor who can give you any answers so you need to ask him/her:

    What is the significance of protein in your urine?

    Is it likely to get better by itself?

    Is it a sign of kidney damage or of infection?

    How often will they check for possible problems?

    Is there anything you can do to improve the situation?

    What is the long-term outlook?

    Take someone with you when you ask questions - most of us leave the surgery and either forget some of what we have been told or mis-interpret the answers.

    Good luck,
