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?

Trace albumin may be from steroids or diabetes. Creatinine is normal. Continue to monitor if on long term steroids.

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.

Sir, I recently did a urine test, which showed albumin (present +) and pus cells 3 to 4/HPF. Sometimes I have pain in my right lower ribs and back. What could be the reason?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, I recently had a routine blood test, and I noticed the following results: Urinary microalbumin: 140 UA/C: 73.5 Blood ketone: less than 0.2 HbA1C: 6.4 All other test results appear normal. I am currently taking the following medications for depression: Lithosun SR 400, Qutan 50, Lamitor OD 200, and Prestiq 100. I do not take any other medications.
