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?

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.

I'm a bit worried as I've been told that both my kidneys are small and show increased echogenicity. The left kidney measures 74x42mm and the right one is 76x46mm. What does this mean for my kidney health? Should I be concerned about these sizes and echogenicity levels? What steps should I take next?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's got this kidney issue, diagnosed with CKD, and though he's stable now, today he mentioned he's having trouble urinating and the amount has decreased. I was wondering if giving him Urispas would help with his urination. Do you think it's okay to give him that?
