Minimal Fluid in the abdominal cavity
Hi . My 4 year kid has minimal fluid in the abdominal cavity. Took repetitive urine albumin/protein , urinalysis test and reports reviewed in person by general paediatrician and nephrologist , they said nothing to be worried as the urine report looks normal. Could you please let me know if it is something to be concerned from cardiac perspective. Please note, both the doctors did the physical examination for my kid and they said nothing to be worried.Just wanted make sure I am not missing from cardiac perspective as we have more looking from kidney stand point as one time her protein/creatinine was 0.31. Please help in sharing the comments.

Do share if any blood investigations are done we need to rule out any thyroid disorder any liver abnormalities or any other causes like infections of abdominal organs. If routine investigations are within normal limits, cardiac evaluation can be done by 2D ECHO.
