I have type 2 diabetes and have prptien in my urine and have been put on a high blood pressure medication for this. what does protein in urine mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney Damage: Presence of protein in urine is a sign of kidney damage caused by diabetes. It is called diabetic nephropathy. The higher the protein level in urine the worse the damage. Protein level less than 300 mg can be managed by your primary care physician. Higher levels usually require care of a nephrologist.
