<s>[INST] Dear Dr. My husband had renal transplant 13 years ago. Albumine trace is seen 2 years back so could you let me know why it is seen and what could be the measures to prevent it? We have in consultation with the Dr. This the Dr. told us only 2 months back and had given medicine but still the trace is seen. We use allopathy Dr. Thank you [/INST] HiT hanks for the query. Congratulations to your husband on completing 13 years post transplant. Presence of albumin in urine indicates early damage to the kidneys. It becomes more common as the transplant gets older than is your husbands case. If the creatinine is stable, at this point we can give some medications to try and reduce the albumin, but it may not disappear completely. Control of BP and diabetes will also help. Follow up with your nephrologist regularly. Hope this helps Good luck. </s>
