Hi I am writing it for mother who is a renal donor for me and 2 yrs back i did my transplant.after donating she is also doing good but the problem is the sugar level is in higher side. FBS - 195 and PPBS - 212. Then I have tested the urine micro albumin which is 109 and the creatinine - 1.0 .So Wanted to ask what is consequences of high sugar and what signifies microalbumin is 109 .Is there any risk to her health and kidney and whether it is curable or not ? and what should be the medication or precaution should be taken?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Consequences of high sugars are many and effects every part of our body from eyes to foot. but her sugars are not so high and can be easily brought down to below 140..by exercise and avoiding sugar in diet and diet control. if still not controlled she may have to take a small dose of antidiabetic medicines...like metformin. pls check her hba1c also urine for microalbumin is no longer used and is not important. if you are worried about protein in urine then get spot protein creatinine ratio in urine checked....it is unlikely to be high. by keeping her blood sugars under control her health and kidney will be absolutely okay. get her eyes checked for retinopathy every year.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
