John Sharma, a 58-year-old accountant, noticed...
John Sharma, a 58-year-old accountant, noticed persistent foamy urine for several weeks. He had a family history of diabetes and hypertension, both of which he managed with medication. Initially dismissing it as a hydration issue, he grew concerned when the foam didn't subside and he felt increasingly fatigued. His primary care physician, noting John's controlled but longstanding conditions, recommended a urinalysis and a 24-hour urine protein test, suspecting early diabetic nephropathy. The process was straightforward but anxiety-inducing for John, who feared kidney failure. The test confirmed moderately elevated protein levels (microalbuminuria). The emotional journey was one of initial fear and denial, shifting to determined acceptance upon learning it was an early, manageable stage. With tightened blood sugar and blood pressure control, added ACE inhibitor medication, and dietary changes, his protein levels stabilized. John now feels empowered by proactive management, though he carries a lingering vigilance about his health.
