Am I Having Kidney Disease?

I am 25 year old male. Urinating frequently, had urine work done (72 hours after strenuous activity) came back with abnormal hyaline casts. Could I have kidney disease? What should I expect from my doctors? What sort of care should I receive? If I have kidney disease, can I still live a long life?

Hey take it easy, no you dont have kidney disease if only hyaline casts are seen in urine. Hyaline casts just show normal protein cast in urine which can be normally seen after strenous work as you specified. Urinating more means you are havin increased fluid intake which body is removing because it has to maintain the fluid balance of body. If your frequent urination problem persists further get blood sugar checked at fasting and post prandial. Thank you
