What Do Urine Albumin Level Of 115mg/l And Blood In Stool Suggest?
Question: I have a urine albumin of 115 mg/l. i also have blood in my stools and hemoglobin is 98 g/l. What could this all mean.
Brief Answer:
More details requested
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Albumin is a big molecule that does not get filtered into urine. So any amount of albumin in urine is not normal. Albumin in urine could indicate damage to the filtering membranes of the kidneys. The exact cause can only be commented upon after thorough clinical examination as well as proper investigation. Whether you are hypertensive or diabetic could have a direct correlation and I would request you to let me know about the same.
About the blood in stools, I would need further details like whether it is XXXXXXX blood or altered blood and how much amount is present. I would also need to know if your bowel habits are regular and whether the stool is hard or soft. Based on that I would be able to correlate the cause as well as that for low hemoglobin levels.
In any case you need to cut down on the smoking and drinking as these have a direct adverse effect on your condition.
Waiting to hear back from you.
Regards
Dr. Kunal Saha

i TESTED MY STOOL WITH A BLOOD DIPSTICK TEST AND IT SHOWS A LOT OF BLOOD. THE STOOLS ARE SOFT AFTER TAKING MILK OF MAGNESIA.
Brief Answer:
You need to visit a doctor and get yourself examined and investigated
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.
A dipstick test serves as a screening test and should be confirmed from a lab thereafter. I have gone carefully through the details but there are multiple possibilities available. The urinary conditon could have occurred due to glomerulonephritis or some other infective cause. The blood in stools could be due to constipation or conditions like ulcerative colitis. It needs clinical examination and correlation. You yourself are unlikely to be able to get the right tests done by yourself. So you also need to visit a doctor so that he can put the facts together and a proper diagnosis can be made. Unless I get the facts in order, it is very difficult for me to comment on scanty bits of information.
It seems that even though the stool was soft on that occasion, there are other episodes of constipation that you have. There needs to be a regular settlement to the problem.
