Diabetes melitus can cause the vessels to become narrow and clogged. Without enough blood, the kidneys become damaged and albumin (a type of protein) passes through these filters and ends up in the urine where it should not be.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a IMMUNOGLOBULIN PANEL - IgG, IgM & IgA Test or Take a SURGICAL PANEL (HIV, HBsAg, HCV) Test
