Brief Answer:
I will request for further monitoring!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for following up with me.

I will request fro further monitoring only. Some common causes of proteinuria are menses, urinary tract infections, heart failure, diabetes. You seem not to have any of these. Besides, are you being treated for the high cholesterol? Exercise, diet and drugs might be helpful for high values.

In all, control in 1month's time. If this is still more than 30, only at that time would we investigate aggressively.

Let me here from you.

HI,

Do you have any other disease condition such as diabetes? I will suggest that you upload the entire report for comprehensive review. Our premium portal allows for more detailed exchanges.

I hope to hear from you!
