Suggest Ways To Control Hypertension
Question: Is 100 considered a high enough number for concern in protein in the urine. I had severe sepsis in May and since then tests have shown 100 in urine protein 4 consecutive tests. Also have developed severe hypertension sometimes going over 190/100 could this be from damage done by sepsis.
Brief Answer:
Please refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir
After going through the medical details provided by you i can understand your concern and here i would like to tell you that 100 is a high level for protein content in urine as normally there should be no protein excretion in the urine.
In your case it seems like your kidneys has got some damage after the sepsis. Also if its so then your high BP can also be due to kidney injury.
Its advisable that you should personally consult a Nephrologist for proper evaluation and then further plan. Also i would like to suggest you to get one Ultrasound of kidneys done.
I hope this information will be helpful. Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.
Kind Regards
