Hi Krug,
I haven't been on this site much, so I'm only seeing this thread now.
I also have proteinuria. For me, it turned out to be a kidney disease called IGA Nephropathy. According to the nephrologist, there is a small link between the 2. I'm also on fumaderm, and it was because of constant blood and urine checks that it was caught. As of now, I'm waiting to go back to my dermatologist and see if I can stay on the medication. The nephrologist didn't seem to this it would be a problem.
Fumaderm is rarely the cause of kidney problems according to the nephrologist I spoke to. If it doesn't change when you reduce the dose, chances are it's something else. My advice, is to push to see a nephrologist. They can give you the proper answer to what's causing it.
Hope your husband finds the answers to this.
