hi there,
it seems your problem is proteinuria with kidney stones. mild proteinuria upto 1 to 2 grams can occur from tubular injury by kidney stones and infections, so it is important to quantitate the proteinuria in 24 hrs urine sample. recurrent stones can be from variour reasons depending on the chemical content of the stone. recurrent stones warrents a battery of blood and urine tests which your doctor should prescribe to find out the cause of stone formation. kindly follow advice of your doctor for the same.
