Sometimes it is valuable to get more information, could your PCP suggest a nephrologist?  It can't hurt to get a second opinion about what's really going on.  I don't think kidney failure is the only reason for protein in the urine.....please check it out.

I am sorry that you are having medical problems. You really need to see a specialist. We cannot help with this issue. All we can do is offer you support. Do you have insurance or are you on the state medical card? Either of them will support you to get a second opinion.

Hugs.  

Take a deep breath.  It is very important to see a specialist.  I have had the same problem for about 5 years.  My specialist has me on a diuretic (water pill) and believe it or not, blood pressure medicine even though I do not have problems with high blood pressure.  This has stabilized me and I have stayed the same for 5 years without any further deterioration.  It is frightening, but the goal is to maintain the function of your kidneys with where they are.  You don't want to have them get worse.  That is why it is important to see the specialist.  With their help, hopefully, you can maintain the functions that you have of you kidneys.  It can be scary, but it also can be controlled.  So, ask your doctor for a referral to a specialist.  Hang in there!  You are in my thoughts and prayers.
