Proteinuria and swelling in legs

Proteinuria and swelling in legs

I have been dignosed for high blood pressure for over 25 years. I am also a heart patient and had Angio Plasty about 6 years ago. About 9 years ago I had 24 urine test and found that I am loosing protein in my urine called proteinuria disease. In 9 years that level has increased from 1.1 to 1.6 or from 600 to 4600. Lately for about 6 months I have a lot more swelling in my legs and difficult to wear socks or shoes. My Nephrologist for 9 years unable to bring my protein loss in control.

My question is
1. How can I get my leg swelling in control?:
2. How can I get my protein loss in urine in control
3. Is my swelling due to weak heart muscle problem or loss of protein in urine (Protenuria)?
