Hi
Thanks for the query.
Congratulations to your husband on completing 13 years post transplant.
Presence of albumin in urine indicates early damage to the kidneys. It becomes more common as the transplant gets older as is your husband's case.
If the creatinine is stable, at this point we can give some medications to try and reduce the albumin but it may not disappear completely. Control of BP and diabetes will also help.
Follow up with your nephrologist regularly.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
