Hi,
I had gone through the reports.Urine protein ++++ is not a good sign, it might either indicate recurrance of primary kidney disease ( glomerulonephrtis/ Diabetic nephropathy) or development of newer kidney problem ( Denovo Glomerulonephritis / BKVirus infection) in transplanted kidney, either of which would warrant kidney biopsy.
It can be managed now,depending upon kidney biopsy result. if not intervened , there is a risk of graft loss.
