Kidney function
I have been on trimethoprime for more than 3 months for bacterial prostatitis... Now urine test always shows 1-2WBC and no RBC. But today I again go for Test and my Urine test show 15mg/dl protein. Why? My Serum creatinine is 1.1 mg/dl and BUN is 16.4mg/dl. I am very very scared at these results. Am I suffering from kidney infection...? Or any other problem? Plz plz help me... My Creatinine increased from 1.0 to 1.1 in one month... Why this happening to me? Plz reply... Is it due to dehydration or taking Trimethoprime for a time long ? Is this protein amount in urine is significant? I am 23 years old . Thank you
