Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .

Presence of 3+ proteins in urine could be due to Paranchymal Kidney Disease and has to be confirmed by series of tests .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis ( This will rule out /confirm presence of stone in kidneys)
3) Renal Function Tests .
4) Excretion of urinary proteins in 24 hours sample of urine .

Further tests if required to be done and treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.

Dr.Patil.
