Management methods for proteinuria discovered after student health check-up and treatment

The older child was diagnosed with proteinuria after a school health checkup.

Afterwards, I went to the nearby internal medicine clinic for a re-examination.

My protein in urine was high, so I also had a blood test.

There was no abnormality in the health check.

You need to undergo a re-examination during follow-up care.

At the beginning of this month, my first child, who is a middle school student, brought home a <Urinalysis Result Sheet> after a health checkup conducted at school.

The test was conducted in November.

During break time, only those children are with the health teacher.

They called and handed over the home communication letter.

 

This is my first time having proteinuria, so I don't think it's a big deal.

At first, I didn't think much of it.

Looking into it, my heart suddenly felt heavy. ㅠㅠ

Proteinuria is a condition where protein is present in the urine.

It is said that it can cause problems in the kidneys or urinary tract.

If not properly managed afterward, it can lead to various complications such as nephritis, pyelonephritis, cystitis, and renal failure.

 

So I asked the child in detail.

Including herself, four people from the class went out.

The health teacher's positive result for proteinuria is

Don't worry too much since it sometimes appears.

They told me to definitely visit the internal medicine department later.

First, I reassured the child and decided to have another re-examination.

Teenage proteinuria can appear even without any abnormalities.

I heard that it is possible.

Actually, orthostatic proteinuria or transient proteinuria

I heard that there are cases where there are no health issues.

 

Expecting the first two cases of proteinuria.

I went to the neighborhood clinic for a re-examination.

But this time, proteinuria was also detected.ㅠㅠ

The numbers are quite high as well.

They said I need to have a blood test before I leave.

Doctor, at least there was no hematuria.

You said not to worry too much, but the results came out over the weekend.

He said to see you then when you come out.

 

When I got home, I was so worried that I couldn't stay still. In the case of orthostatic proteinuria, the first urine test is

I heard it's important, so I went to the pharmacy to get a urine test kit.

I wanted to recheck with a first urine sample.

 

But urine test kits have expiration dates.

They don't sell it well at the pharmacy.ㅠㅠ

That evening, I immediately placed an order online.

I received the delivery in the morning and conducted the test with my first urine.

Urinalysis kits are used not only for proteinuria but also for other purposes.

Various symptoms that can be detected through urine tests

I found that I can perform the test.

Also, after the test, the color indicates the approximate value.

It is designed so that even ordinary people can easily understand.

Contrary to what I expected

It looked like there was severe proteinuria based on the color changeㅠㅠ

We had no choice but to wait for the blood test results.

 

I visited the hospital on the Saturday morning of that week.

They said they've tested for all diseases that can be diagnosed through blood tests.

The good news is that everything came out normal.

Doctor, don't be reassured that the results are normal here; follow the management methods I will inform you of next.

They told me to come back for another test in about a month.

 

Reduce protein intake

Consume plenty of water and dietary fiber

3 Ways to Reduce Stress

Take a walk or do regular exercise

 

Actually, the timing of the test was because the child had final exams.

I was under a lot of stress.

 

I am currently practicing according to the method you told me.

I am waiting for a re-examination.

If I run next month, winter vacation will also start.

The child in the least stressful situation possible

I plan to get a re-examination after continuing body management.

 

If proteinuria continues to appear afterward, you should go to a university hospital.

In case it is detected early

They said it is possible with medication treatment.

I believe and will try to put it into practice.
