Over time, high sugar levels in the blood can cause these vessels to become narrow and clogged. Without enough blood, the kidneys become damaged and albumin (a type of protein) passes through these filters and is found in urine which can be detected in urine test.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a Complement Level C4 Test or Take a BK Virus PCR Quantitative Test
