I got my urine results back today ( will see nephrologist Friday ) .
The protein level was 260 mg / 24 hr .
The eGFR is >90 ( normal )
Creatinine is normal too .
My BP is 130/85 mm Hg .
What do you think will happen .
Here a reading >300mg protein / 24 hr is called macroalbuminuria or
overt proteinuria .
since I inadvertatly slept the last 5 hours( I had not gotten much
sleep that night anyways ) and urinated shortly after , I suspect the
reading truly is >300 mg /24 hr .
Any observations ?
