Prognosis of Proteinuria - related to renal failure? Posted: 11-03-07 15:27pm
The doctor said protein is found in the
urine of my mom. And he has ordered a 24
hours test to look further into it. The
doctor says he will refer her to see a
specialist in case proteinuria is
confirmed in the 24 hours test.
My mom is planning on a 1.5 month trip and
she plans to see the specialist (if
needed) after she comes back, which will
be about 2.5 months from now. Is it
advisable for her to do that? Can anyone
give a prognosis of proteinuria? I read it
can be related to renal failure. So how
far will it develop just in case
(hopefully not) that renal failure is the
reason which causes the proteinuria? Is it
possible that problems will come soon
enough that she will start feeling sick
during the trip(which means within the
next 2.5 months)?
Sorry for so many questions. I am very
confused and worried now. It's always not
easy to find out that your loved ones may
have severe health problem. It just make
you feel so helpless and desperate.
