What Does this blood Test Result Mean?
Recent bloodwork indicated the following: Creatinine 0.8 BUN 11 mg/dl Protein 2 mg/dl Urine Creatinine 12.2 mg/dl Protein/Creatinine Ratio 160 mg/g (However, lab results from 2013 reflected 50 mg/g) With the elevated PCR this year, should further tests be conducted??

Dear Friend, greetings from HCM . I understand your problems... Your total proteins is very low. Normal total proteins is between 6 to 8 GMs/ DL .. You need to ask for albumin/globulin ratio and 24 hour urinary protein levels. Get the complete hepatobiliary profile done and eGFR . further you can get abdominal scan too . you get lipid profile, thyroid hormone profile .. HbA1c levels .. After this complete work up we can detact the problem and try to find out the solutions. .. Meanwhile take good amount of protein s Luke egg, fish, sprouts and nuts . do contact us with the reports and for further assistance . thank you
