How to treat albumin traces in urine?
Patient: Hey.. my daughter is 2 month old. 1 month earlier she was admitted into the hospital as she had blood and urine infection. She had albumin traces in the urine. After treatment everything was fine but now she passes urine only 3 - 4 times in a day. Again in urine test albumin traces are present. What does it mean? Is it related to kidneys? What should we do now? She cries a lot when passes the urine. Please suggest. Doctor: Hi...a 2 month old baby crying while passing urine is normal and it cannot be deemed as pain. I am telling this because the sensation of full bladder is perceived by adults as such and we urinate and relieve ourselves. But, babies of this age do not realize that and the only means of expressing that abnormal sensation which they are perceiving is by crying.2nd issue is that , urine containing traces of albumin. Please be rest assured. This is normal. It is related to kidneys only, but it is a normal finding in urinalysis.Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time.
