As discussed over the phone.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

As discussed over the phone I would suggest you take 3 to 4 Ltr of water per day. I would suggest you to stop taking protein powders. Limit your overall protein intake in your diet.

Regular walking and exercise. Repeat test after 3 months. In case you notice any swelling of legs and puffiness around eyes or any urine disturbance go to your physician immediately.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care.
