Some readers mailed me or commented; asking me about my urinalysis. I guess it is only appropriate if I provide a little update on the check up.
The urinalysis went well and though there is still protein leakage from the kidney, it is not leaking at an alarming rate. It has also not leaked to a rate where I need to undergo a biopsy. Hopefully that will remain for the longest time. As for now, I just have to continue to look after myself... sufficient rest, a healthy diet and exercise, something even a perfectly healthy person should do. Next check up in 6-months time.
Many also mailed me asking me about sub-prime. Even my friends who are not in the corporate world asked me to explain to them. And when I did explain to them, they often gave me a blank stare or a reply saying "Thanks, but I still don't understand". Therefore, I hope The story of Mr. Suck Plime will provide some light to this highly technical subject.
Have a good Thursday.

This is for your friends who don't understand the subprime problem.
If they still don't get it, tell to start reading the business news in the papers first. A shocking number of working execs don't read the newspapers, not to mention the business section.
try to avoid caffeine drinks, this will help u in the long road...
Coffee? a strict no no!!
Hope you feel better soon.
In our high-stress, fast-paced lifestyle, we all seem to be breaking down faster than our parents.
Anyway, I need to do some check-up and etc too. 30+ yrs old and we got to start taking care of our health better.
Take care & God Bless!

Hey, just read your post. I too had underwent a urine test a couple of times, and the doctor told me that I was leaking a bit of protein from my kidneys too. Said might need to do biopsy... That was early last year. Up till now I have never been back to that doctor, nor did I undergo a biopsy.
That was the verdict of a doctor based in some private hospital in Selangor. But when I was in Bangkok over the CNY and met a heart specialist, I took a urine test with much persuasion from my mum. Doc said it was normal for some blood to be traced in the urine, and he was literally shocked when mum told him that the doctor in Bolehland suggested that I had to undergo a biopsy..
So, who to trust? I ended up deciding not to do anything about it. Still keeping my bad eating habits; like eating lotsa meat, not much veggies... But I drink lotsa warm water and hot tea at work, and try to cut down on soft drinks.
Hopefully my health won't be that affected... As for the biopsy fears... What biopsy?
Hope you'll get well soon.
Hey, thanks for your reply. Well, I did the 24 hour urine test too back in 2008, but the results were pretty much satisfactory; according to the doc.
But the doc was pretty much coaxing my mum into getting me to do the biopsy. One year on, I'm still alright, and the decision not to push forward with the biop seems vindicated [somewhat] by the results of my uri test over the recent CNY in Bangkok.
So, I shall leave it for the time being, but of course I'll definitely retake the urine test sometime this year to ascertain that my kidney's aren't leaking so much protein compared to those deemed normal...
Ek Thai the Hamster - well, my advice (not that i am a doc) is to do an annual kidney check up. since we are considered "at risk", we should really take care.
