Suggest Remedy For High Protein In Urine
This question is for my mother. She is 75 and they recently detected high protein in her urine. She does not have diabetes. Her appointment with a nephrologist is not until January but she is wondering whether it would help to reduce her protein intake in the meantime until they find out the cause. Thank you.

Hi thank you for posting your query in HCM. I had gone through your question i understand your concerns.
High protein in urine is a sign of kidney disease. Damaged kidneys let proteins leak from the blood into urine. Medications, trauma, toxins, infections, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, above 65 are the risk factors.
Treatment of proteinuria depends on identifying and managing its underlying cause. Untreated kidney disease would lead to kidney failure.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have further questions i will be happy to help.
