Proteinuria

It seems like reducing the amount of protein in the urine is also an important goal (along with lower blood pressure) in slowing the progression of reduced kidney function. This very useful article proposes a target of 500mg/24 hours:

My last test shows 1850mg/24 hours, so clearly work to be done here. I feel that my level hasn't changed much so far because my urine continues to create foam, a sign of protein. Tomorrow's test results will tell me.
