I have trace albumin in my urine and chronic, year-round skin allergies. Could these symptoms indicate a kidney problem, and what medications are recommended for treatment?
Trace albumin in urine is common and often temporary, caused by minor factors like dehydration or exercise, so there is no need to panic. However, it warrants a follow-up test to monitor kidney function. Your chronic skin allergies are likely an independent immune response, not a kidney issue, and can be managed with generic antihistamines like cetirizine or fexofenadine. If the trace albumin persists and is linked to blood pressure, a doctor might prescribe kidney-protective medications like lisinopril. Please consult your healthcare provider to repeat the urine test and get a tailored treatment plan.
