Suggest Treatment For Proteinuria
I was diagnosed 2 yrs. ago with a chronic kidney disease called proteinuria. My last 24 hr. urine collection showed that I was losing 6 gm. of protein daily. I have been prescribed prednisone for a year and then cyclsporine the following year. Both medications did not reduce effectively my loss of protein. Are there any medications that you familiar with that have proven effective for my condition? I will be starting a new immune suppressant drug next week.
