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.

Take a Urine Routine Test Test or Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test
