Could it be kidney disease?My husband recently had a physical to obtain a life insurance policy. Due to the results of the exam, he was denied coverage. His urine contained high levels of protein, microalbumin and hemoglobin. I've read that these could be signs of kidney disease. Should he get tested for kidney disease?

Yes, all three of those are signs of kidney disease. There are other symptoms of kidney disease, as follows:
*Frequent urination or the feeling to urinate and nothing happens
*Foamy or bubbly, very pale or darker than usual urine. Blood in urine you should see a doctor immediately(this is a major sign of kidney *FAILURE*)
*Is your husband fatigued? If your kidneys aren't working properly your blood has less oxygen than normal; this is anemia which causes fatigue.
*Anemia also causes dizziness and may interfere with the ability to concentrate.
*Being nauseous coupled with vomiting, including feeling itchy due to the presence of waste in your veins.
*Kidney disease can make things taste different, taste the foods you know to see if they have an iron/metallic taste.
*Walk up a set of stairs. If you notice you are always out of breath, even when not doing physical exercise, it might be due to kidney disease. A buildup of fluid in the lungs and a low oxygen count in your blood will cause this symptom.
*Check for extraneous pain in your back or side. Often the side with the afflicted kidney will become sore. Some kinds of kidney disease can produce painful cysts on the kidneys.
In short, he needs to get tested. If anything, as a precautionary manner.
Good luck to ya.
