Dear sir
As per your query, you have proteinuria, 2+, it indicates onset of microvascular complications.
It does not imply that you are having kidney disease. But it is a marker of whole of microvascular complications like nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy.
Hence it is advised to get usg of kidney done, ruleout hydronephrosis.
Secondly it is advisable to start statins and ACE inhibitors.
Thanks
