What did your lipid panel look like (cholesterol, triglycerides)?

Based on these results, you've got some mild hypoproteinemia (57), but that proteinuria is looking close to nephrotic range. How are your serum Albumin levels? Any swelling or edema?

I don't really have symptoms [edit: actually, I do, because of my Alport syndrome], this was just a routine follow-up. I take 5mg of Zestril (ACE) and 40mg of Cozaar (ARB) daily.
I don't think they even ran a lipid panel. There isn't any Albumin listed in the results. No edema here.
