I am a 54 year old male with type 2 diabetes for the last 15 years. On 11th July, I had a Microalbumin Urine Test. The results are: Spot Urine Microalbumin 421.8 mg per L, Microalbumin by Creatinine ratio 1562.22 mg per g, Blood Creatinine 1.30 mg per dL, Hemoglobin 9.9, Sodium 139 mmol per L, and Potassium 4.60 mmol per L. Please provide suggestions based on these results. Please reply as soon as possible.

High urine albumin indicates diabetic kidney damage. Needs nephrology follow up and BP or sugar control.

Question

My morning urine test shows trace amounts of albumin, and my blood creatinine level is 1.1 mg/dL. I have steroid induced diabetes from taking 16 mg of Medrol daily for a lung infection. Could this be the reason for the albumin in my urine?

Question

I just received the results of my medical report. It says there is a trace of albumin and 6 to 8 pus cells per hpf.
