Dear Sir, my sister is suffering from swelling on her face and legs due to protein leakage in urine. Her 24 hour urine report shows protein 7.43. She does not have high blood pressure or diabetes. Please suggest treatment. She is 34 years old and weighs 50 kg.

This suggests nephrotic syndrome or a glomerular kidney disorder. She must see a nephrologist immediately for treatment and further tests to avoid kidney damage.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Funtion) Test or Take a ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA) Test

My son is 5 years old and he had a congenital defect in the kidney since birth. Since a few days he has some inflammation which has caused swelling all over the body. His urine report shows that there is protein and blood in the urine. What does this mean and are there any further tests you suggest we should do?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

In my medical report, it shows that I have unilateral MCDK on the left side. It also mentions an anteflexed kidney. I am already a patient of endometriosis. Could you please explain what this means and suggest what should be done?
