Protein in Urine

[mdmom]

2 weeks ago my son did a 24 hour urine test done checking for protein. He has been diagnosed with CVID and the doc's theory was that if he is dumping protein in his urine it could be further proof of CVID (low total IGG).

 

His protein came back high at 252mg. Anything >150 is considered high.

 

We just retested earlier this week and now the protein level is 837mg.

 

He has been on antiobiotics since Nov 2010 and IV antibiotics since Jan 2012. Would antibiotic use cause protein to leak into urine?

 

Worried about kidney function, which looks normal on his weekly blood work.

My younger sister had nephrosis when we were young, it was an emergency situation and very serious. She had to test protein in her urine for years following. Not to alarm you but personally I would get this checked out by an expert

My dd also has CVID dx but her Doctor has never checked her urine for protein. She does she a Urologist for a different reason though.

 

I ditto Hopeny-I would call a Urologist office.
