Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Proteinuria is an important indicator of kidney disease, and also the risk of progression.
Protein Creatinine Ratio is the preferred test for detection of small amounts of albumin (protein) in the urine.

Kindly follow the medications as prescribed for you for complete recovery.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
