Barbara,good luck next week. It seems like it will me a tough one but hopefully you will start to feel better by weeks end. I'll be thinking of you and I'll say a prayer that they find something that will bring you some comfort and end your infection. Keeps us posted

chills and low fever and new UTI came back from my GP with antibiotics and referal to blood tests.
what is bothering me, is that in the urine test, my protein was 200 ! the norm is no more then 30. I never never had it so high. scary
the Gp said that after I will finish the antibiotics, I will do urine test of collecting it 24 hours, to check the protein.
how high is the protein when there is kidney involvement ? what else should I check ?

What have your previous urinalysis protein levels been at? You get them checked every month, right? What is your creatinine and eGFR at?

I'm sorry you are having problems again, Alysia. I hope kidney issues are not a part of it.

Hi Alysia
I am also sorry you are going through this. I have been there with the repeated urine infections and it is hell on earth. The 24 hour urine collection is considered a more accurate test for kidney function. They will also do a blood U and E and GFR at the same time. I do know that should the kidneys be involved in the infection you can have high levels of protein in your urine which will go away once the infection is under control. Hoping that this is the case.
