[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 153674, member: 19121"] I dropped off a sample yesterday so am waiting for next week and the results. Extract from UK Kidney Federation Web Site. [i] "A PCR of less than 2 mg/mmol is normal. Levels of up to 50 usually do not indicate serious kidney disease, so long as the kidney function (measured by blood creatinine level or eGFR) is normal. However, a PCR of 20-50 in someone who has diabetes will require further action, especially to reduce the blood pressure, improve the control of diabetes and check the blood cholesterol level . A PCR of 50-300 usually requires some further testing. A PCR of greater than 300 may mean that nephrotic syndrome is present."[/i] Source [url=http://www.kidney.org.uk/Medical-Info/kidney-disease/proturia.html]http://www.kidney.org.uk/Medical-Info/k ... turia.html[/url] Further info "Diabetes and the Kidney" [url=http://www.kidney.org.uk/Medical-Info/kidney-disease/diabetes.html]http://www.kidney.org.uk/Medical-Info/k ... betes.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
