Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The protein has been positive due to urine infection that is why it does not appear in every sample. It should be pyelonephritis as you have pain in kidney region and needs antibiotic treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mirjeta Guni
