Brief Answer:
Microalbumin in urine is unlikely to be due to Isotretinoin .
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts and reports that you have uploaded Microalbumin in urine that you have been detected to have is unlikely to be due to side effects of Isotretinoin that you have been taking for ACne. Isotretinoin is not known to have side effect of on kidneys.
This could be taken as a coincidence and have to investigate further to rule out any early Kidney disease .
I would suggest to consult qualified General Physician or Nephrologist for further evaluation and assessment .
Microalbuminurea does get back to normal levels after appropriate treatment .
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
