Hello Doctor, within the last week my whole body has become swollen. I also have constipation with heavy gas in my stomach. After checking my urine test report, my doctor said that albumin is leaking into my urine and mentioned that it may be related to a kidney problem. Please advise

Protein in urine and swelling could point to kidney issues like nephrotic syndrome. Please consult a nephrologist for evaluation and further testing.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a PROTEIN/CREATININE RATIO - URINE Test or Take a RENAL PROFILE/KIDNEY FUNCTION TEST (RFT/KFT) Test

Is protein in urine bad?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Earlier, my urine was foamy, and a previous urine report showed trace amounts of protein. So, I underwent further urine tests including USG Abdomen & Pelvis and microalbumin tests. I have attached these reports and would appreciate help in understanding if everything is okay now. Currently, my urine is clear.

Hello sir. Concerning my urine test report we found that there is presence of protein and a few blood cells in the urine whereas the creatinine and urea are normal. How does it affect my kidney?
