10 year old child health advice


10 year old child health advice?
We found out yesterday my 10 year old had protein in her urine. We had to go back this morning with another sample, there was a smaller amount of protein this time, but it was still there. They are doing further testing at this time, but I am still a bit worried. I am wondering if anyone knows anything about this topic.

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/protein-in-urine/HQ01277 What did your doctor tell you? I would have grilled him/her on all the likely scenarios as to why my child would have this problem. Never let a doctor intimidate you into being mute, you pay for their services and it is up to them to explain everything to you.

Usually this means that she is not eating. Ask the doctor questions about other things that it could mean. Has she been losing weight or been sick recently? I hope everything turns out ok...but do talk to the doctor: don't be afraid to ask ANYTHING, that's what they're there for!

possible low carb diet

Protein in the urine can be caused by numerous things. Most clear up on their own. However, there could be kidney problems and your doctor will do further tests to find out what is going on. It is probably not something you need to worry about, but because it can at times be kidney related, you need to have all the tests done. I guess your doctor has told you she should not do anything physicaly stressful at the moment.
