Brief Answer:
This could possibly be due to Urinary Tract infection.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

Fever with blood in urine could be due to
- urinary tract infection
- Pyelonephritis (infection of kidney)
- bladder or kidney stone

to name a few.

Do not worry. It would have been great had I examined you on my own.

I would suggest you to

- Drink loads of water
- I would start tablet Paracetamol - this will take care of the fever
- I would also start tablet Norfloxacin - to cure the infection (antibiotic)
- Get a blood haemoglobin, total count, differential count done and a urine culture examination done.

The urine albumin is absolutely normal.

Do not worry much.

Visit a physician. He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.

Write back to us.
Regards.

Hi you didn't answer my question about below 20 is normal for a spot urine sample

Answered by Dr. Goswami Debopom (13 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
My apologies for not answering the exact question.

Detailed Answer:
If the test is done for 24 hour urine collection then the result is normal.
But as you mentioned a spot sample , 60 mg/L is a bit high.

The normal level for a spot urine sample albumin is strictly < 30 mg/L (not 20 mg/L as you mentioned).
The range between 30-300 mg/L is known as microalbuminuria.

I would suggest you to get a blood urea and creatinine done to rule out renal pathologies.


Hope this helps.
Regards.
