What Does Presence Of Protein In Urine Mean?

I have a problem with my bladder. I have a level 3 reflex problem between my bladder and kidney. I went to the doctor the day before yesterday and they said that they found protein in my urine. This concerns me. Also, I went to the hospital today and gave my blood so they could see if anything serious is going on. I will get my results Friday.

Hi,

The commonest cause of seeing proteins in urine is due to kidney disease. Positive urine proteins normally should compel evaluation of the kidney function, generally through measuring blood levels of creatinine and urea. In case these markers are readings, it might be worth considering a consultation with a kidney specialist (nephrologist).

Diabetes and longstanding hypertension are commonest diseases that can affect the kidney and predispose kidneys to allow produce to pass and find themselves in the urine.

However, it is also not very rare to see proteins in the urine of persons with some urinary tract infections, after doing some exercise or some meals. repeating the test is often a good option. In these circumstances, the amount of protein is generally low.

High concentrations of proteins in urine deserve proper evaluation of kidney function by a nephrologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
