Microalbuminuria

[chazelder]

I could really do with an answer on this as I'm worried sick.

does Microalbuminuria cause urine infections?

I've had constant urine infections for the last 5-6 months

Hi chazelder,
It is not the microalbumin that causes the urine infection but the fact that it is present indicates that there is an infection.

Elevated results may also be caused by vigorous exercise, blood in urine,urinary tract infections

Hi chazelder,
Have had a read through your posts and see that you cannot monitor your blood sugar levels due to reluctance from GP and costs involved from providing your own.
Your UTI's may well be because of high blood sugar levels and this cycle will continue until you understand what your levels are and how to improve them.
I did see somewhere that someone phoned Bayer and said that they had been recommended by a friend. They were sent a meter and 50 strips. This might work for you. It would be a start.
Try explaining to your GP about how the UTI's are effecting you and ask if he would let you have strips until this is cleared up. Might work?

Hope this helps,

Catherine.
