A member asked:
What do you suggest if my mum has protein in her urine and she has diabetes is it just a symptom of diabetes or something please help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Proteinuria: Protein in the urine is diagnostic of diabetic kidney disease in people with diabetes. Protein in urine can increase risk of complications such as stroke, heart attacks, nerve and eye problems. If found early, the protein loss in the urine can be reversed. However, if the protein loss is substantial, the disease will progress and complications are likely to follow. She needs to see her doctor.
