HI
Greeting from Dr. Divakara.P
First of all thanks for choosing Healthcaremagic for posting your query.
Your reports are contradicting each other. When they test for Urine Protein they will be testing for Albumin only , so if it is showing 2+ then Albumin can't be nil or traces.
Was these test done on same time or on different day ? Do let me know .
Also upload the reports so that I could go through them and let you know what is the problem.
Looking forward for your reply.
