HelloThanks for query. Your father is known to have diabetes since last 10 years and his recent urine test has revealed Microalbuminuria to be 68.9 mg. Microalbuminuria above 30 is suggestive of Diabetic Nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy is a progressive and irreversible disease and needs to be treated for proper control of diabetes and hypertension. Please consult qualified Nephrologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.1) Urine routine and urinary excretion of albumin and creatinine in 24 hours sample of urine .2) Renal function tests.3) Blood sugar tests and test for Glycocelated Hemoglobin (HbA1c).4) Serum Lipid Profile. Further treatment as regards control of diabetes and hypertension to prevent further damage to kidney will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis. Chat Doctor.
