Dear All.I have tested a high protein level in urine near 3+ and there is a high foaming in urine.
The creatinine level is 0.8 and all the KFT parameters are in normal range.
Can any one suggest its better treatment medicine diet so I will recover fast.
Your suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Hi Vivekks,
I woukd give the doctor who ordered your labs a call and make an appointment to speak to him/ her.
Print your labs, check off any results which flag high or low next to the designated lab range and ask questions.
There coukd be many reasons for your incresed protein spilling with a normal creatinine level.
If you are seeing a nephrologist; excellent as they are specially trained to test and assess kidney issues.
Basically, the first line medication for protein spilling is BP medication, if you are not on one already.
Lisinopril, or an ACE inhibitor, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor is one of two drugs widely prescribed in the US; it's sister drug Ramipril, is more widely prescribed in the UK It is also used to prevent kidney problems in people with diabetes and treat high blood pressure.
The other is Losartan, which is an angiotensin II receblocker (ARB).
Both are given to take pressure off the kidneys.
As far as diet is concerned, speaking to your doctor and getting a referral to a renal dietician is a great idea as they will make food suggestions based on your individual labs which are both nutritious and appetizing.
Basically, kidney patients eat a diet low in sodium, ( 1200-200mg daily) low in protein; eliminating red meat and processed foods, also watching potassium and phosphorous as determined by your labs.
Drink plenty of water, avoid NASID pain relievers as Advil, Aleve and Motrin, dark colas, body building protein drinks and smoking.
Try to add more fresh and fresh frozen vegetables to your diet and fresh fruits such as berries, apples and pineapple.

Thanks Sir.Please suggest which extra tests I have to check with laboratory.
Please also suggest any other medicine which improve protine leakage safely and prevent kidney and heal the nephron filter.
Please arrange any expert doctor advice on medicine.
I am taking Metaformin 1 mg, Olmy 1 tab for sugar and BP control.
Sugar is normal 120/150 fasting /random.
BP is 82/124.
Please suggest.
Thanks
No thanks needed, Vivekks, As you can see, members have given you their thoughts about what will help, but remember that you don't yet know what the cause of your protein spilling is.
I would first make an appointment with the doctor who ordered your labs and discuss them.
If he/ she is not a nephrologist, I would consider asking for a referral to one as they will run specialized tests to better assess your health situation and how to treat it going forward.
As prior mentioned, there could be many reasons for your protein spilling, which a doctor is best qualified to assess as well as prescribe medication to try to eliminate the problem.
Members of the community are can support you but are not qualified to make medical suggestions.
As mentioned, the BP medications that I listed have a duel purpose; reduce high blood pressure as well as take pressure off the kidneys and hopefully reduce protein spilling. Each person is different.
A healthy diet and water is good for every person. The suggestions that I made to you are just a rough idea of changes that you could make.
Give your doctor a call and see him/ her. Please let us know what the outcome is.

Very good answer, I'm thoroughly impressed. I'm curious if you're male or female and which country you live in.
Try going vegetarian for a while see if this helps .

Thanks Seabreeze.I am taking vegetable only since long but the protein problem in urine is not resolving.
Vivekks,
Can't stress enough that a you need to speak to your doctor as to find out what is causing this and put together a health action plan including medication, going forward.
Changing your diet will help but won't entirely solve the problem until you know the cause and have a plan in place with your doctor.
It's medication, diet and a bit of exercise which will help after you know what is causing this.
If this is the first time that you have seen protein spilling, your doctor may repeat your labs and also order a 24 urine catch which is considered the gold star test among kidney specialists.
This is an average of your urine results over a 24 hour period; similar to the A1C being an average of your glucose over a 3 month period.
Make sure that you are well hydrated before taking and blood or urine tests.
Take a look at your electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, phosphorous,and calcium.
Note your protein and albumin levels as well as cholesterol levels and discuss them.
If possible, ask a family member to join you at the appointment to take notes so that you can better focus on the discussion and plan ahead. Don't leave the office without your questions answered.
This is a process which takes time to put each aspect in place.
Let us know the outcome as we are here to support.

Bet117 gave very good advice. Take reference at "remission clinic" study from Dr. Giuseppe Remuzzi one of most important nephrologist in Italy. You are hugely still on time. Don't loose it. Rgs
You didn't indicate if this was a one time deal or not. Is there history of any kidney disease or was this a routine lab test and the proteinuria appeared? I'm reading about protein leakage with normal kidney function tests and the first one they talk about is intermittent proteinuria and then there's orthostatic both of which do not require treatment. I have found that giving a urine sample from a morning urination has more protein in it. If you are up for a while and drink plenty of water and urinate several times before giving a sample, it will generally yield better results.
Hi All.Can any one please suggest correct medicines and therapy to resolve this problem.
There is still high protein in urine near 1030 ppm in 24 Hrs Urine Protein Analysis.
The creatinine level in urine is also high.
The doctor is suggesting for renal biopsy for further investigation.
Please suggest for same.
Thanks
