Protein in my Urine
I recently did a blood test I've had high blood pressure for a long time (don't know how long to be honest) I tested it saw it was high and decided to go to a doctor I'm now on blood pressure medication diet change etc so blood pressure is going down, my eGFR was 117 and my creatine was 81umol/L and 0.3 g/L of protein was found in my urine doctor told me they're not worried about it I have also seen foam in my pee alot the last couple of years but didn't think anything of it should I get another doctor to talk to or just trust this one?

I started the same way , I think you should get a kidney biopsy to play it safe. I had one and they found AMYLOIDOSIS and I have type AL .......
Yeah I'm almost positive mine started from untreated Hypertension due to fatty tissue and high processed foods etc for a long time, im now on BP meds and a healthy diet and trying to lose weight. Going to doctor next Thursday so ill see what they say.
I'd start with a CT scan of your kidneys first if your insurance covers most of it then an ultrasound next to determine any issues that the CT scan picks up.
I started out with high numbers too in 2025, in 2024 my numbers were perfect. 2025 I had a UTI then kidney stone and my numbers went down a bit but we're still high so I got a CT scan and then ultrasound to get a proper diagnosis.
