Hi Doctor, Ive been noticing albumin in my urine for about a month now, with levels ranging between 1+ to 2+. Recently, the albumin level dropped to less than 1++. Sometimes, it still shows 1+ or 2+. Could this indicate a problem with my kidneys or urine? What should I be concerned about?
This can be a sign of kidney damage or dysfunction. To help reduce the albumin in your urine and protect your kidneys, you can take medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 10mg once daily or ARBs like Losartan. It is important to also follow a low-salt diet and stay hydrated. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your kidney function.
