Kidney specialist: This is the area of medicine that needs the input of a nephrologist or kidney specialist. Please do not wait to long for your dad's evaluation because he is losing too much protein.

Depends on the cause: The test reveals that the kidneys are not returning protein back to the blood like they are supposed to. This test is not specific to a specific cause or treatment.It must be properly evaluated by a kidney specialist before a treatment can be determined.
