Accepted Answer

Yes, but first...: Hi,
Sorry to hear that you have been struggling with your health. Before discussing treatment, it is important to identify the underlying cause of the lab abnormality. Proteinuria itself is not a diagnosis, but sometimes can be a sign of an underlying medical illness. Typically we treat the underlying illness rather than the lab abnormality per se. Most causes are very treatable.

Question 6

what causes protein in the urine?

Accepted Answer

A lot of causes: In young people protein in the urine is usually due to heavy exercise or could be due to standing too long but it usually  is minimal. The most common pathological cause of protein in the urine is diabetes followed by hypertension. Other causes are usually "glomerulonephritis" which are a group of diseases affecting the functional units of the kidneys. If you have protein in the urine call ur doc.

Question 7

what does +1 protein in your urine equal?

Accepted Answer

1+ protein: 1+ protein is the equivalent of 200-500 mg/24 hours. The usual system quantifies protein as 0, trace, and then 1+ to 4+. So there is a source of protein in the urine and the meaning of this needs to be looked at with any other lab abnormalities, signs/symptoms, clinical context.

Question 8

what do i do if i have protein in my urine?

Accepted Answer

Protein in urine: Slight protein in urine can be normal in some people. Any amount of protein in the urine initially needs an evaluation to further determine the cause. Based on the amount of protein in urine and other associated symptoms there can be a wide variety of causes. Please see a kidney specialist for further evaluation.

Question 9

what causes trace of protein in the urine?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Hi,
There are many things that cause this and finding trace amounts of protein in urine alone, doesn't indicate presence or absence of disease. For example, things as common as exercise (leading to muscle breakdown) can cause trace amounts of protein to show up on a urinalysis. Hope this helps

Question 10

how could i have gotten protein in my urine?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Protein loss is not normal.  It is an indication that the membranes in your kidney is leaky.  It is usually a result of inflammation and chronic changes to the kidney tissue.  See a kidney doctor to run some more tests and see if things can be done to decrease protein loss.  The higher the protein in the urine, the faster your kidneys will progress to complete failure.
