A member asked:

Having low back pain on one side, went to dr, urine test + for blood & high protein levels, ct scan for stones neg. father died at 46 of renal ca.

See details.: The ct scan would have shown evidence of a renal cell carcinoma so that is ruled out. The high protein is indicative of significant kidney inflammation. I would suggest seeing a nephrologist (kidney specialist) for an opinion.
