What Causes Proteinuria?

Hi. Since Monday I have frequent urge to urinate, but not much passes when I go to the toilet. Usually 6 or 7 oz. went to dr. Today and urine test showed white blood cells and protien. She put me on med for uti, but I read that protien can be dangerous. What do you think?

Hello
Thanks for query .

Frequency for urination with urgency are signs of UTI .

It is common to get proteins (one + ) to be detected in urine analysis in UTI and normally it gets resolved once the infection is brought under control with antibiotics .

It is significant when one has 3-4 + proteins in urine (Proteinuria) which suggests kidney paranchymal disease .

Repeat your Urine analysis after 10 days of treatment along with Renal function tests to be rest assured about Chronic Paranchymal Kidney Disease .
