Nephrologist 's  Response
Dear Patient,

albumin in urines is indirectly a sign of vascular disease that, in general, follows diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy. Fortunately, with a good pressioni control, low salt diet, healthy lifestyle, correction of dyslipidemia it can be reverted. Keep this factors under control an it can even disappear. Microangiopatia is associated with cardiovascular diseases and kidney failure, but in the long term. It is a sign that should be taken cautiously. Take care,
