Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
You need not worry about trace and 1+
only if you get a 3+ or 4+ and consistently the child needs to be treated with steroids........
You may contact me with further details on the following URL...........

Hello
You have mentioned that your son was treated for nephritic syndrome. I presume it is a typing mistake as nephrotic syndrome has a tendency to recur and steroid is the treatment.
Cough, cold, fever or other infection may precipitate the albuminuria.
In case of nephrotic syndrome relapse is defined as 3-4+ proteinuria plus edema.
1+ albumin in urine is not significant and does not need any treatment.
Monitor daily the urinary albumin and if it increases then consult your doctor.
