I'm noticing some albumin in my urine for the past month or so. It's been bouncing between 1 and 2, though now it's less than 1. Sometimes it still goes up to 1 or 2. Should I be worried about this? Could there be an issue with my kidneys or something else with my urine?
This can be a sign of kidney damage or dysfunction. To help reduce the albumin in your urine and protect your kidneys, you can take medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 10mg once daily or ARBs like Losartan. It is important to also follow a low-salt diet and stay hydrated. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your kidney function.

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?
The urine sample shows slight turbidity, with a faint trace of protein in the chemical examination. The microscopic examination reveals 5-6 pus cells, 10-12 red blood cells, and 2-3 epithelial cells, which may indicate mild urinary tract irritation or infection. Its important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate treatment.
