Jesus christ if i dont have enough to worry about, I already worry about her as it is and now im worried about this. I told Denise to go to the doctor because the last few weeks she has been constantly having to go to the bathroom without drinking alot, she went today and they told her she had a really bad bladder infection with alot of unusual protiens and stuff down there, and they told her they would have to test for Proteinuria and other things, so she decided to look it up and maybe she shouldnt have but she found out what it is, the information about it is this:
Proteinuria describes a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein. Proteins are the building blocks for all body parts, including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins in your blood also perform a number of important functions. They protect you from infection, help your blood clot, and keep the right amount of fluid circulating throughout your body. As blood passes through healthy kidneys, they filter the waste products out and leave in the things the body needs, like proteins. Most proteins are too big to pass through the kidneys' filters into the urine unless the kidneys are damaged. The main protein that is most likely to appear in urine is albumin. Proteins from the blood can escape into the urine when the filters of the kidney, called glomeruli, are damaged. Sometimes the term albuminuria is used when a urine test detects albumin specifically. Albumin's function in the body includes retention of fluid in the blood. It acts like a sponge, soaking up fluid from body tissues. It acts like a sponge, soaking up fluid from body tissues. Inflammation in the glomeruli is called glomerulonephritis, or simply nephritis. Many diseases can cause this inflammation, which leads to proteinuria. Additional processes that can damage the glomeruli and cause proteinuria include diabetes, hypertension, and other forms of kidney diseases, Research shows that the level and type of proteinuria (whether the urinary proteins are albumin only or include other proteins) strongly determine the extent of damage and whether you are at risk for developing progressive kidney failure. Proteinuria is also associated with cardiovascular disease. Damaged blood vessels may lead to heart failure or stroke as well as kidney failure. If your doctor finds that you have proteinuria, do what you can to protect your health and prevent any of these diseases from developing.
She might not have it but just reading that scares the shit out of me and her!!! I'm fucking terrified and i wish i was over there now to hold her! we have to wait a friggen week in order to know what the results are
ETA: she got the results back yesturday and it was only a really bad infection in her bladder, nothing more so were both happy with that
