Hi,
Having trace albumin in your urine means that your kidneys are abnormally spilling a tiny amount of protein into the urine from the blood. If this is abnormally high and this would indicate that you have impaired renal function and further investigation into why this is should be made.
The primary treatment for proteinuria will be to control both blood pressure and blood glucose levels, which may be achieved through lifestyle changes and could include taking additional medication.
If the fluid is accumulating in your ankles or around the lungs, you may be given water tablets, a diuretic medication that helps to remove water from the body. You need to have plentiful fluids, antibiotic course and personal hygiene for urinary tract infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
