My GP expressed concern about some of my labs today, one of them being a
slightly increased creatinine level and general protein level in a 12 hour
urine sample.

U creatinine 17.6  mmol/L reference (6.0 - 14.0)
U protein 0.16 mmol/L reference (<15

He is thinking kidney probs and wants to start me on ACE inhibitors (I am a
well controlled type 11 diab.).

I mentioned that I ate a high meat diet. He said a high meat diet could not
account for the higher levels.
I think there is a relationship between a high meat diet and my slightly
elevated levels but I can't explain why.

Anyone out there have any knowledge about this?
I need a convincing argument against starting ACE inhibitors.
