High Urine Protein Test Results. Elevated Albumin And Creatine Levels. Had A Colostomy. Are These High Levels Due To Surgery?
Hello, I just got back extremely high urine protein test results. Microalbumin , UR 939 Creatine , UR 120.6 Microalbumin, Normalized to Creat 778.6 The blood test was done shortly after shurgery that involved a colostomy and a suprapubic catheter. I have had significant amount of blood in my urine. I am wondering if the surgery could result in such hight protein readings.

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
Colostomy as any other abdominal procedure may cause elevated these findings but just temporarily. If this persist ,you should check your kidney and liver function and see is there some other disorder. These findings may indicate just uroinfection or kidney stone but there also can be some more serious kidney disease or intraabdominal fistula.
Wish you good health. Regards.
