[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2606211, member: 372207"] I had similar results a while back, and started this thread about it: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/high-albumin-in-urine-would-like-thoughts-on-my-labs.193395/[/URL] I've had lab results again last month, and the albumin had now dropped from 51 mg/l to 32, still significantly higher than the reference of <16. But my diabetes nurse explained that they look mostly to the albumin/creatinin ratio, which is fine at 2g/mol, so she's not worried about it and I don't need to come back for labs until next year. Have you looked up what the actual dose is, and what common doses are? Half a tablet doesn't tell you anything. I was on a low dose of enalapril already (going by the name a close cousin of your perindopril) because of BP, and we upped the dose a bit. The good thing about ACE-inhibitors is that they don't work that long, so should your BP get uncomfortably low, you may have a bit of an uncomfortable dizzy day but you should be back to normal the next. In the thread I linked some people mention taking their ACE-inhibitors before bed to minimise side effects. [/QUOTE]
