I recently got my urine tested, and the results showed albumins present. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and suggest ways to reduce it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Presence of albumin in urine (albuminuria) can be due to various reasons such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney damage, or urinary tract infection; to reduce albuminuria, your nephrologist may recommend lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy blood pressure and blood sugar level, reducing protein intake, increasing omega-3 fatty acids, and staying hydrated, along with medication if necessary.

View allI'm getting a creatinine test soon and I'm a bit unsure about whether I should be drinking water beforehand. Like, how much water is okay to drink, and when should I drink it? Does it have any impact on the results of the creatinine level test? I'm just trying to make sure everything's good for accurate results.
drink 6 to 8 liters water per day

My wife's kidney profile tests came back mostly normal, but her Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) level was low at 5.9. Is this something to be concerned about? What could we do to get it within the normal range? Is it common for BUN to be low, or should we look into this further?
no problem it's normal

I'm concerned about my creatinine levels. They were at 0.9 last month, but now they've increased to 1.4. Is that considered too high? I'm wondering what could be causing this increase, like could it be something in my diet? I'd love some advice on what I might need to avoid or any precautions I could take to bring it back down. What exactly is the normal range for creatinine levels?
A creatinine level of 1.4 is considered high, especially if it's increased from 0.9 in a month. Normal creatinine levels vary by age, sex, and muscle mass, but generally fall between 0.6 to 1.1 mgdL. To lower creatinine levels, consider these dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments: Dietary Changes 1. Low Protein Diet: Reduce or avoid high-protein foods like red meat, eggs, and dairy products. 2. Fiber-Rich Foods: Increase consumption of legumes, fruits (like apples and papaya), and vegetables. 3. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins [2). Lifestyle Adjustments 1. Exercise Moderation: Avoid intense workouts and opt for light exercises like walking or yoga. 2. Salt Intake: Limit common salt consumption to maintain healthy blood pressure. 3. Avoid NSAIDs: Limit use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). 4. Supplement Awareness: Consult a doctor before taking creatine or protein supplements. 5. Quit Smoking: Smoking can damage kidneys and increase creatinine levels.
