What does urine protein +- mean?

Urine protein plus or minus, indicating the presence of a small amount of albumin in the urine, this condition is common in early diabetic nephropathy, as well as relatively mild chronic nephritis, IgA nephropathy, occult glomerulonephritis. For its treatment, we must first clarify the cause of the disease, which can be determined by checking the urine protein quantification, as well as creatinine and urea to determine the condition of the kidneys. At the same time, you can choose Bering capsule to protect the kidney, as well as ACEI or ARB drugs to reduce urine protein. Generally, a small amount of urine protein can be cured by these medications. If urine protein increases, or if creatinine or urea increases, a kidney puncture should be performed to further clarify the type of pathology, and if necessary, hormone or immunosuppressive therapy should be chosen. In addition to drugs, we should pay attention to the principle of low salt, low fat and high quality low protein diet to avoid increasing the burden on the kidneys.
