Question 1

can hematuria cause trace protein in urine?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In fact, trace proteinuria is always present when there are red cells in the urine. Trace protein isn't really worth worrying about by itself if you're otherwise healthy. Good luck.

Question 2

trace of protein in urine. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

See below: You are leaking a little protein in the urine- could be from several reasons. Get a urine protein to creatinine test done which will quantify the protein leak.

Question 3

what does trace of protein in urine represent?

Accepted Answer

Kidney defect: Normal kidneys usually retain all protein so no protein ends up in the urine.  If the membranes in the kidney go through damage or inflammation, it may become leaky and protein will show up in the urine.  Infection and inflammation can disrupt the membrane.  This can be reversible or irreversible.  See your doctor for further work-up.

Question 4

trace of protein in urine what does that mean? the dr said its nothing to worry about.

Accepted Answer

Urine protein: Trace urine is often trivial, but may indicate early kidney disease. Healthy kidneys filter waste from your blood and keep the healthy components, such as proteins like albumin. Kidney damage can cause proteins to leak through your kidneys and leave your body in your urine. Albumin is one of the first proteins to leak when kidneys become damaged. The microalbumin test may be helpful to exlude dz.

Question 5

what would cause protein in urine?

Accepted Answer

Proteinuria: A small amount of proteinuria (protein in urine) from time to time usually doesn't mean anything important. There are many kinds of infections and kidney diseases that can cause larger amounts or continued presence of protein, some of them quite serious. Without more information, there's no way to even guess the cause in any one person. Discuss with your doctor. Good luck!

Diagnosis: The amount of protein over 24h, whether it is present supine and standing, the level of kidney function, and the presence of other diseases all contribute to the diagnosis.
See a nephrologist for a diagnosis.

Question 9

what are possible causes of high levels of protein in urine?

Accepted Answer

See Nephrologist: 3 levels of protein in urine:
microalbuminuria--less than 300 mg a day
tubular--300-1000 mg a day
nephrotic--more than 3500

if there is blood in the urine you may have a glomerulonephritis and this may be a very serious condition that causes rapid loss of kidney function.  

In general the more protein in the urine the worse the prognosis.
There are too many diagnosis to list.  
You need a workup.
