Hello,
To the question: “Is urine available Protein with foamy urination in diabetics should do? The doctor would like to answer as follows:
Are you suffering from diabetes of unknown type 1 or 2, how long have you been ill? Diabetes is a disease that causes many complications, especially kidney complications. Depending on type 1 or 2 diabetes, kidney complications appear sooner or later. In your case, urine has a lot of protein: 3g/l, showing that there is glomerular damage, so it is new to release protein into the urine. This can be a complication of nephropathy in diabetics but can also be a pathology of mixed nephrotic syndrome in patients with diabetes.
You should see an Endocrinologist for examination, monitoring and treatment. The doctor will determine whether kidney disease is a complication of diabetes or associated kidney disease to guide treatment and prognosis. Without long-term treatment, it will affect kidney function causing kidney failure and other complications.
Specialist doctors will do blood tests, urine, ultrasound, cardiovascular survey to evaluate the prognosis of the disease. These are routine technical tests at the hospital, the time for results also depends on each technique performed.
In addition, you should have a sugar-free sweet diet, limit starch, abstain from fat, currently have normal kidney function, due to loss of protein, you should eat a lot of meat protein. There should be a regimen of exercise and regular check-ups to monitor treatment.
