Taking ACE Inhibitor To Control BP And Having A History Of Nephritis With Constant Creatine. Will Predisolone Course Sufficient To Suppress Protein Urea?
I've IGA Nephritis for the last 7 years. My creatinine is consistently around 0.95 and proteinurea is 30 mg/dl (1+). I only take an ACE inhibitor to control BP. I now need to give a urine test and don't want to be caught up for protein as it will invalidate the purpose. Can a short predisolone course will be sufficient to suppress proteinurea

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The creatinine value is alright this could be said in normal range and the protein is also fine if you have nephritic syndrome then the little elevation in renal function test is just likely no need to take any medicine for this just have plenty off water and cut down the salt in diet, I would not advise you to take the prednisolone tab. have nice day.
