Trace of blood and protein in urine

Not a good sign. This was discovered last month at a rheumatology appointment. Only found out today. I haven't had any infection that could explain it. No glucose detected though my levels won't be that high at this stage. I had a FBG test yesterday and I doubt it will come back even in the amber zone as my own readings were 5.4 before the test and 5.2 afterwards. It's a good job I'm testing. I am seeing the GP next week. I only received a copy of my hospital letter today and I am distressed. I also have my blood test results for Renal/Liver/Bone/Urea if anyone can help translate.

Thanks. My blood test results seem to be in the normal ranges, although creatinine is slightly low but apparently that could be a consequence of low muscle mass, and possibly a diet low in protein, and that makes sense. It's the higher numbers that can indicate a problem, so I'm not overly worried I have my appointment with the GP next week so I can have it explained better. Still not happy with the urine test, but I suppose it is a sure sign that my GP cannot give me the OK with a normal FBG, especially if i present my own readings.

I don't seem to have a number for ALT, but AST serum level was 19 IU/L on 29 May and AST aspartame transam (SGOT) 17 IU/L on 13 May (I presume that's the same as AST). Normal levels for AST are 10.0–50.0 IU/L according to my printout.

I had two sets of tests done. One at rheumatology and one for my NHS Healthcheck. All results are in normal range except a borderline low serum globulin. My potassium levels were a low-ish normal in one test and just under in the second.

My GP ordered a urine test. My urine lab results from 4 June were as follows:

URINE MANUAL MICRO/CULT (AMR)
Normal no action
Urine microscopy: pus cells: nil
Urine microscopy: red cells: nil
Presence of bacteria: nil
Urine culture: No significant growth after 1 day

I'm assuming I'm in the clear.

Thanks for your experienced opinion.

I'm not on antidepressant or GERD medication.

What is GGT? Is that Gamma GT level? If so, it was 11 IU/L on 13 May and 9 IU/L on 29 May. Normal level according to the print out is 1.00 – 55 IU/L, so I assume that's fine.
