Hi, Thanks for choosing HCM yes it is urinary tract infection(UTI) presence of albumin in urine is called albuminuria...but if it is in traces ,you need not worry because it stops when the infection subsides Do you get UTI frequently? because if it is so ,urine might of gone up in the urinary tract towards the kidneys and damages its tissue leading to scars.... what is your age? any history or family history of diabetes and hypertension? please get these checked up and take proper treatment because in diabetes ,proteinuria is seen and hypertension(bp) may also be due to kidney damage dont worry drink lots and lots of water ,it flushes the infection take treatment if recurring common problem with uti is when antibiotics are prescribed for 5 days or so,you start taking it and when you take half the course your symptoms subsides ,so you will stop the medication. that is wrong ......... because though your symptoms subside some of the infection is still present which flares up after you stop taking medicine and it also causes resistance so that the antibiotic will not be effective when you use the next time(even if you take a bigger dose) so take care ,talk to the doctor and take up all tests needed get a ultrasound abdomen (scan )done if suggested. take treatment depending on the pathology hope i answered your queries feel free to contact me for further queries thank you
