I am a 54 year old male with a 15 year history of type 2 diabetes. On 11th July, I underwent a microalbumin urine test. The results were: Spot Urine Microalbumin is 421.8 mg/L, Microalbumin/Creatinine ratio is 1562.22 mg/g, and blood creatinine is 1.30 mg/dL. Other results include hemoglobin 9.9 g/dL, sodium 139 mmol/L, and potassium 4.60 mmol/L. I would like your suggestions regarding these results and the next steps I should take. Please advise as soon as possible.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My son is 5 years old and he had a congenital defect in the kidney since birth. Since a few days he has some inflammation which has caused swelling all over the body. His urine report shows that there is protein and blood in the urine. What does this mean and are there any further tests you suggest we should do?
