Please consult a specialist.

Did you get any advice when you got your blood test results?

[Prasha in reply to sandybrown]

Doc advised me to control my sugar levels

[sandybrown in reply to Prasha]

What are your blood glucose, blood pressure and blood cholesterol?

How are you controlling your blood sugar level?

Have you looked at life style change?

[Prasha in reply to sandybrown]

My fasting was 127 hba1c 7.38 blood pressure lipid is normal

[Prasha in reply to Prasha]

Walk 5 miles per day and after reports I m controlling my diet and now my sugar is absolutely normal

[sandybrown in reply to Prasha]

When you say it is normal, what is HbA1C now?

You can drink cinnamon tea or boiled cinnamon water or stem of banana plant boil and drink the boiled water, also drink plenty of water daily.

Now to your question!!

[Prasha in reply to sandybrown]

I checked my hba1c 15 days back so I have to wait for the nxt test I just want to know can I reverse my Microalbumin to normal

People with diabetes have an increased risk of kidney damage. The "filters" in the kidneys, called nephrons, slowly thicken and become scarred over time. The nephrons begin to leak protein into the urine. This kidney damage can also happen years before any diabetes symptoms begin. In the early stages of kidney problems, blood tests that measure kidney function are usually normal.

If you have diabetes, you should have this test each year. The test checks for signs of early kidney problems.

If this test shows that you are starting to have a kidney problem, you can get treatment before the problem gets worse. People with severe kidney damage may need dialysis. They may eventually need a new kidney (kidney transplant).

Normally, albumin stays in the body. There is little or no albumin in the urine sample. Normal albumin levels in the urine are less than 30 mg/24 hours.

Several temporary factors can cause higher-than-normal urinary microalbumin results, such as:

* blood in your urine, or hematuria.

* a fever.

* recent vigorous exercise.

* dehydration.

* a urinary tract infection.

High doses of thiamine -- vitamin B1 -- can reverse the onset of early diabetic kidney disease, according to new research. ... The results also showed 35% of patients with microalbuminuria saw a return to normal urinary albumin excretion after being treated with thiamine.

Your GP may recommend that you take medicines called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). These are often prescribed to help lower blood pressure and can also stop microalbuminuria getting worse.

excellent review uptodate.thank you for your balanced views

[happynhealthy]

It depends on what is your eGFR and Sr. creatinine levels too. Do you have those readings?

These 3 readings together will tell us the health of your kidneys. Keeping good control of blood sugars and blood pressure goes without saying as that will reduce stress on all organs [including kidneys].

happynhealthy ,

What are the 3 readings you refer to? I see that one is eGFR. Could you expand Sr.Creatinine? What is the other one?

Are these three blood tests available in India? Please help. Thanks

[happynhealthy in reply to barani19]

sr creatinine, eGFR and microalbumin are the 3 readings i am referring to. Of course, they are done routinely in India.

Thanks happynhealthy

by taking medicine you can bring down below 30. i think this is the beginning stage.you need not worry but consult your physician.

In UK it is sold in Asian shops. In South east Asia you can buy fresh ones in the markret. There are many things you can buy in market for food and medicine with no study. Passed on from family!!!

I am away from home. When I get back, I can google and let you have more info.

The inner tube of many plants are used in Asia.

it is always microalbuminuria in urine not in blood.

[gangadharan_nair]

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is used to screen for and detect early kidney damage, to help diagnose chronic kidney disease (CKD), and to monitor kidney status. It is a calculation based on the results of a blood creatinine test along with other variables such as age, sex, and race (e.g., African-American, non-African American), depending on the equation used.

The National Kidney Disease Education Program, American Society of Nephrology, and the National Kidney Foundation all recommend that an eGFR be calculated every time a creatinine blood test is done. The creatinine test is ordered frequently as part of a routine comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) or basic metabolic panel (BMP), or along with a blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test to evaluate the status of a person's kidneys.

Creatinine, along with eGFR, is often used to monitor people with known CKD and those with conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension) that may lead to kidney damage.

Other tests that may be done at the same time to help detect kidney damage and/or evaluate kidney function are:

Urine albumin (microalbumin) and albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR)—used to screen people with chronic conditions, such as diabetes and hypertension, that put them at an increased risk of developing kidney disease; increased levels of albumin in the urine may indicate kidney damage.

Urinalysis—may be used to help detect signs of kidney damage, such as the presence of blood or casts in the urine

Yes. Not very high. The dietary management and strict sugar control can halp you the most.

Gud luk.
