Hello Doctor, within the last week my whole body has become swollen. I also have constipation with heavy gas in my stomach. After checking my urine test report, my doctor said that albumin is leaking into my urine and mentioned that it may be related to a kidney problem. Please advise

Protein in urine and swelling could point to kidney issues like nephrotic syndrome. Please consult a nephrologist for evaluation and further testing.

Take a Urine Protein Test Test or Take a KFT with Electrolytes (Kidney Funtion) Test

What causes a negative protein in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 42 year old male. I had severe fever with diarrhea one week ago, along with shivering. I did blood and urine tests, and the urine report showed protein 1+ in urine. Is protein in urine normal during a fever, or should I be concerned?
