@leslie2121 What is normal for us is what is normal for us. It is difficult for me to believe some of the charts that indicate if your are such and such an age, your eGFR should be this number! We all are unique, and have to keep in mind a range, not a specific value. We look at what our labwork tells us, and look at trends.

Increased proteinuria could be a result of a condition, but it could also be the result of too much intake of protein in our own case. I have to increase my intake because I am on dialysis. But at the same time, I have multiple myeloma [with no renal involvement], so it is a fine balancing act to watch that. Dehydration, intense exercise, stress, diet and even pregnancy can also be a cause of proteinuria! Wow, did you know that!?
