General Safety: Eggs are generally safe and nutritious for most 50-year-old men without kidney disease. They provide high-quality protein and important nutrients.
Kidney Health Consideration: a. If you have normal kidney function, eating eggs in moderation is not harmful to your kidneys. b. If kidney disease is present, protein intake may need to be monitored and adjusted. Consult a healthcare provider or dietitian in such cases.
Balanced Diet: Including eggs as part of a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains supports overall health.

Question

Does diabetes cause the loss of protein in urine?

Im looking at the results from a physical examination and Im a bit worried. It mentions a 'slight turbid' appearance and there's a 'faint trace' of protein in the chemical examination. The microscopic examination shows pus cells at 56 and red cells at 10-12, with epithelial cells marked as 23. Should I be concerned about these results? What could they indicate about my health?
