Protein level in urine is an important indicator in health test. If my protein level is 6.5, what does it mean? Next, we will explain why urine has protein and how to help alleviate protein in urine.

When kidney filters the blood to produce urine, protein can be absorbed by glomerular filtration membrane and kidney tubules. Thus, people have very little protein in urine, and the amount of protein is usually less than 150mg per day in urine. In clinic, it is called massive proteinuria if protein in urine is over 3.5g per day. Protein level which is 6.5 is much higher than normal level of healthy people, and it means much protein leaks out through urine.

Hence, we can make a conclusion that glomerular filtration membrane or reabsorption of renal tubules is damaged. Many kinds of kidney disease can lead to proteinuria, such as kidney failure, IGA, FSGS or kidney cyst. Patients with protein 6.5 should go to see doctors timely and make sure what kidney disease he gets. Proper and immediate treatment is very necessary, otherwise disease condition will deteriorate, even develop into end stage kidney disease.

Chinese medicine is proved to be good at repairing kidney damage and recovering kidney function. The following are properties of Chinese medicine:

Prevention of kidney inflammation and infection

Promotion of blood circulation and dilation of blood vessels

Removal of toxins from body

Degradation of fibrosis

Enhancement of immunity

Therefore, during some periods with Chinese medicine, kidney damage can be repaired well, and kidney can function normally again little by little. In addition, patients with 6.5 must limit intake of protein, and avoid food which contains much protein. Low salt and phosphorus are also necessary. Good effects are achieved finally with the combination of Chinese medicine and healthy diet in daily life.
