Microalbumin, Random, Urine. Diabetic nephropathy is a complication of diabetes and is characterized by proteinuria (normal urinary albumin excretion is <30 mg/day; overt proteinuria is >300 mg/day). Before overt proteinuria develops, albumin excretion increases in those diabetic patients who are destined to develop diabetic nephropathy.
Soaking shortens the cooking time and makes the beans more digestible. To soak, cover the washed beans with four times their volume of water (no salt yet), then choose one of these soaking techniques. 1  Normal soak: Leave the beans to soak for at least 8-10 hours (larger beans need more time). 2  Quick soak: Bring the beans to a boil for one minute, cover, and let sit for one hour.
In a large pot, add 10 cups of water for each pound (2 cups) of dry beans. Heat to boiling; boil for 2â3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and soak for at least 1 hour (Quick Soak) or up to 4 hours (Hot Soak).
