Title: Proteinuria
Post by: Jean on October 19, 2015, 01:09:37 PM

My kidneys are blowing bubbles all of a sudden. So, it has not been diagnosed yet, but all signs point to proteiinurea. My question for you Pros is " Does proteinurea hurt?"
Thanks for your input.

No, it doesn't hurt. I had proteinurea from age 9 until my transplant at age 51. I didn't know what urine was supposed to look like until after my transplant. It took a while to get used to not seeing foam. I never felt any pain from it.

... In all my medical-doctor-hospital-letters (for over 43 years)
it was always clearly mentioned that I suffered from Chronic Proliferative Glomerulonephriits plus hypertension and proteinurea...
... Over the years I also regularly suffered from bouts of kidney-pain,
but I don't know whether or not it was connected to proteinurea or to my chronic kidney disease
or whether it was due to my suffering from regular flare-ups of SLE/MCTD which affected my frail kidney-function ...
Best wishes from Kristina. :grouphug;

If you are hurting, go see your doctor and tell them what is going on honestly.

I still have foamy urine after transplant, but no proteinuria.  Very odd.  Does not hurt at all as far as I can tell.  I think lots of us with ESRD have so many other things going on, it would be hard to pinpoint what hurts and why. Pick a spot and I can find some pain there lol.   :rofl;
