I must be an idiot.

Recent protein/creatinine ratio shows 252 mg/g, but I'm having a hard time figuring out if this is good, bad, or what.

Can someone please help?

You need to ask a nephrologist. He or she is the best person to explain.

Yeah, I have an appointment with the nephrologist next month (kidney injury, the doctor tells me). In the meantime, the agony of not knowing exactly what’s going on is kind of rough. Thanks.

Anything over 30 is a problem. There are charts online with yells you what zone you are in alo g with gfr. Green orange or red. But 200 is problematic.

I have a question about this. Is the over 30mg something for albumin or total protein? I’ve read that total protein can be up to 150mg in a 24hr period but it is that your Albumin in 24 hours should not be more than 30mg per day.

It is slightly higher than recommended. Less than 200mg/g is considered normal.

Thank you.

No prob. If you haven’t already, the doct will prob prescribe an Ace or Arb to help reduce protein in urine
