Hi all
Had a urine infection month odd back had antibiotics for a week to clear it up. About a week after my antibiotics course was done they taken another couple of urine samples and I think one was PCR test.
Fast forward to today and I get a worrying letter through. Basically it says They had urine tests back and it shows "persisting amounts of protein in your urine. I cant say at the moment whether this is related to your diabetes or not" They are asking one of there colleagues who specializes in kidney medicine to see me. In the meantime they think it would be advisable to see me and look at starting me on treatment particularly for this. It goes on to explain a particular group of blood pressue meds which are usually used in this situation. Made an appointment for 29th at earliest.
To say im worried is an understatement and upon looking up protein in the urine its from infections to kidney failure :shock: anyone else had this or similar I dont think I have ever been so scared from a letter
