Brief answer....you should get your urine examined
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Since you are a diabetic patient with kidney involvement,immediate thought regarding the cause goes for ...
Urinary tract infection
Or
Proteinuria due to diabetic nephropathy
However it may simply be because of concentrated urine which can occur due to dehydration.
The best is to go for urine routine and microscopy test which would reveal the truth.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
