Is there a risk of glomerulonephritis in the presence of protein in the urine?

Ask
Hello doctor. A 32-year-old boy has a urine test that shows more than 3mg of protein in the urine. The red blood cells in the urine are +11, now he has no edema. So please ask the doctor if you have glomerulonephritis? If there is a treatment, how should it be done? Thank you doctor.

Thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System. In your case, when there is protein and red blood cells in the urine, it is likely that there is glomerulonephritis. However, more tests are needed to confirm this. You should see a nephrologist to clarify some issues, so that you can have an appropriate treatment strategy. Wish you always healthy.
