I recently got a urine test done and it showed albumin in my urine. Im not sure what it means or why it's there. Could you tell me what might cause this and how I can reduce it?

Presence of albumin in urine (albuminuria) can be due to various reasons such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney damage, or urinary tract infection; to reduce albuminuria, your nephrologist may recommend lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy blood pressure and blood sugar level, reducing protein intake, increasing omega-3 fatty acids, and staying hydrated, along with medication if necessary.
