Hi
History and reports noted.
In early diabetic nephropathy creatinine and GFR maybe normal or even high normal. Your mother’s Urine ACR is 51.06.. it is early diabetic nephropathy..
Please continue regular follow up and repeat Urine ACR after a month
Meanwhile test her eye (retina) for diabetic retinopathy changes. (To see ophthalmologist and ask for the same)
Continue diabetic control
