My father has been having issues with swelling in his legs for a year now. doc just now decided to take urine sample. protein at 9300 (not a typo).

DOCTOR: This may be related to a number of problems. The one could be related to kidney disease especially if a diabetic. The other thing that comes to mind is multiple myeloma that causes significant proteinuria. This is important and should seek help now.
