Severe Cramps In Hands, Inner Thighs. Urine Test Showed High Levels Of Microalbumin With Creatinine. Emergency?
My urine test came back at 367 for Microalbumin w/ creatinine and was verified by repeat analysis. My doctor referred me to a Nephrologist . Is this a serious condition that requires immediate attention? I have been having severe cramps in my hands and inner thighs and even when I am not cramping the pain is so bad that I cannot sleep at night. Is there anything I can do now to help this condition?

Hi
Thanks for the query.
Your test result suggests excess protein (albumin) loss in the urine.
This is a marker of kidney disease.
The nephrologist needs to perform additional tests to determine the cause of this.
However your symptom of pain is not related to the albumin loss in urine. Try some simple analgesics for the pain till you see the doctor.
Hope this helps
good luck
