Trace protein

[Ahmad_92]

Hi all,

I am in my thired year post transplant from my father, i have lab test every 2 months, my creatinine stable since transplant but last time i had trace protein in urine, i did again with same result, Doppler ultrasound shows everything normal, my nephrologist says since it is first time and doppler normal and function normal he will not consider it problem now but it is annoying for him, he increased the tac dose slightly 0.5 in addition to my current dose every other day.

Does anyone face such case,

Hi,

I’m 5 years post transplant and I have always had traces of protein and blood in my urine , my doctors don’t seem bothered by it . They say it’s to be expected . But I’m not sure maybe I should question it at my next appointment.

Did you have the trace since transplant? Ir it started after years?

If I remember correctly I even had traces when I was on dialysis

Protein in urine can have other causes. Check on line and see if any fit your recent life style. I am surprised that you take tacro every other day. Is that right?

[Ahmad_92 in reply to Eyak1971]

No i take tacro everyday, but he icreased .5 every otherday

I take usually 1.5 daily, now i take 2 grams the other day 1.5 grams with cellcept and Prednisone.

Thanks for clarifying.

I wouldn’t worry until your doctor starts worrying.
