Hello Ruth and welcome.
The word you are looking for is probably proteinuria and this is only a symptom and not the condition itself. It is most probably due to some abnormality of the renal system and so I would recommend a renal function test, CT abdomen with special emphasis on your kidneys and a consult with a nephrologist.
Best wishes
