A member asked:
Can kidney stones cause albumin in the urine?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, they can: Kidney stones damage parts of the kidney called nephrons, and this allows protein to escape into the collecting system showing it in the urine.

Yes, but: It is important to rule out other causes. Diabetes is a common cause of albuminuria and reflects microvascular damage.
