Dr. Zhao Xinju
The presence of hematuria and proteinuria strongly suggests kidney disease, such as glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, IgA nephropathy, or diabetic nephropathy. It is recommended that you visit the nephrology department of a reputable hospital for further evaluation, including renal color Doppler ultrasound and renal biopsy, to establish a definitive diagnosis and identify the underlying cause. If acute glomerulonephritis is diagnosed, anti-infective therapy and symptomatic treatment should be initiated. For various types of nephropathy, active etiology-directed treatment is essential.
