Hello guys. My dad 65M was diagnosed with spilling protien in his urine and hematuria with some really small kidney stones on a routine investigation. He has no hypertension or blood pressure or no family hx of any kidney or auto immune disease. All her blood works were fine with a normal kidney function and serum electrolytes except for low platelets (85 and then 94k)

He was started on losarton and prednisone 10 mg considering it could be just some temporary issue. After a month when we tested him again for 24hour urine he was nearly still spillign the same amount of protien(1gram)

He was given a panel of tests which showed normal C3,TSH as well as negative AMA , Asma but his ANA titre showed 1:80 nuclear speculated. We are still awaiting the Anti ds DNA test and will be visiting his primary nephrologist once the test is backbut I am quite worried as could it be isolated lupus nephritis? He has absolutely no other symptoms of lupus which kind of makes me a bit optimistic if him jot having lupus but due to the 1:80 titre and possiblility of isolated LN i am quite concerned.

Any one gone through same and has any advice?

Hi guys, my dad 65 years old, based in Pakistan. We recently find out on his routine bloods that he has 380mg/dl of micro-albumin in his urine(just an added info, the urine sample wasn’t the first morning one). His Gfr was 70(which according to Pakistanis based calculation was in normal range),completely normal electrolytes and Urea and Creatinine were normal too. He has no diabetes or hypertension but he does suffer from enlarged prostate since a few years now and isn’t very compliant with his medication hence gets to have all the urinary symptoms for an enlarged prostate. Also we had the kidneys ultrasound done which showed a single calculi both his kidneys which is kind of small, the rest is all okay in it

He saw a nephrologist today and was ordered a 24hour urine for Protein. I am just so worried what could be the cause of him leaking this much of Protein, whereas all other markers are normal. Any insights would be really helpful
