We saw the urologist yesterday for the test results. While it is confirmed that I have proteinuria, the good news is we have ruled out the major kidney problems and diseases.
Based on the findings, the urologist concluded that my condition falls under the other category of kidney-related field and referred me to a renal specialist instead. Straight away, we drove down to Gleneagles from Mt. E to see the renal specialist. More good news to follow from the meeting with the renal specialist. While the level of protein in my urine is higher than normal; it is not excessively high. He concluded that my case is either a type of kidney disease where there is inflammation in a small specific part of my kidney or it could even be pregnancy-related, meaning there is a possibility the abnormal protein 'leakage' may go away post-pregnancy. In any case, I cannot undergo medication now as available drugs are not good for the baby. So meanwhile, he will be running more tests on me and co-monitoring my pregnancy together with my gynae.
Thank you, Jesus, for His covering over me. A couple of close friends who knew about my predicament had been praying for me. The message they all gotten from the HS was congruous - there was peace. On Sunday's service, He further assured me that 'it is done'. I knew then that I had no reason to fear. I am in good hands. Praise the Lord!
