High Protein = Diabetic Nephropathy ? Posted: 06-11-07 21:15pm


I just completed testing to be a kidney donor for my cousin. The test results came with showing high protein level (4x's normal) and as a result, they tell me I cannot be her donor. I question the test result because I have low blood pressure, normal cholesteral, no diabetes, no history of diabetes on either side of the family, height/weight porportionate - and all other test results were normal. I am redoing the 24hr urine testing to prove the first result wrong. I would like to know, if the first test results are correct, how could that be considering my history and other good test results? Thanks, Connie

There could be a lot of reasons for high protein. I have read where eating too much protein or even essessive exercise can give a false reading. I would definitly repeat the test. Hope everything works out for your cousin.
