Is Kidney Function Normal,if There Is Protein Loss In Urine?
Hello Team,
My name is Pradeep, I am 24 years old. At the age of 7 years pyeloplasty was done to my left kidney and was detected that my right kidney is not functioning.After the surgery I have had no problems and everything is well. Now a days in a diagnosis we found that there is protein loss in urine and recent test result for spot urinary protein was 226mg/dL. I would like to know if this is dangerous and also please let me know from this stage how many years can my kidney function properly.I am having a lot of tension regarding the same please let me know how many years I can survive on the same kidney from now so that I can live with out tension. I also have BP and now a days its around 130/90.
Thanks and Regards
Pradeep

Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on your statement your urine analysis has revealed Proteinuria (226mg)
Norally about 80 mg of protein is excreted in urine in 24 hours however it increases in kidney disease and in other conditions like infection ,uti .,cystitis and need to be evaluated .
Single reading can not be a cause of concern .Repeat it again after 5 days and if shows persistent high levels will need to consult qualified Nephrologist for detail evaluation and get following test done under his guidance .
1) Excretion of protein in urine in 24 hours
2) Renal Function test
3) Protein creatinine ration
4) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis
5) Urine culture to rule out infection .
Do not worry and do not jump to any conclusion till you are investigated thoroughly and diagnosis has been established .
