Guest guest Posted July 12, 2000 Report Share Posted July 12, 2000 Patty, You may have diabetes. When you go to the doctor, they often check your urine for protein I believe, when diabetes is suspected. At least I think that is what I remember.

If it is not persistent, there may be no need for concern: http://kidneydiseases.about.com/od/proteininurin1/a/Overview0010.htm " Unless there is a lot of protein in the urine, the first thing to do is determine if it is persistent (found on three occasions) or not. Transient proteinuria is the most common cause of proteinuria and been estimated to affect between 4-7% of people. It is a temporary process that is thought to be caused by fever, heavy exercise, and other benign conditions. The amount of protein in the urine is relatively small and usually resolves pretty quickly. " Apparently there can be many causes of persistent proteinuria: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinuria So, if they do have persistent proteinuria, they may need more testing to determine the cause. One of the more common causes is diabetes according to first source above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
