Question 1

what is the definition or description of: urinalysis for protein?

Accepted Answer

URINALYSIS: A urine analysis can be looking for many abnormalities in the urine, one of which is proteinuria, a possible sign of kidney disease, diabetes, etc.

Question 2

frequent urination 23 year old male. fasting glucose 4.7 mmol, urinalysis negative for protein. no burning or cloudy urine. is it possibly stress?

Accepted Answer

Frequent uination: There are many causes for frequent urination. Urinalysis in this issue should be a 24 hour urine collection with a substantial list - 5 or 6  laboratory studies - must be obtained.
The lab studies can all be done on a 24 hour urine.

Question 3

explanation on why ssri (lexapro) affects the bladder. i have read it can cause urinary frequency and post void dribbling. if so, will the side effect go away, i am on week 3 of 20mgs. urinalysis negative for blood, protein, sugar, gravity 1.005?

Accepted Answer

: It may affect voiding and frequency. Not everyone gets the side-effects at that dose. If you do Check with your prescriber

Question 4

doc thinks i have lupus due to many symptoms and ana positive. urinalysis was positive for protein and leukocytes at 1+ and negative for nitrites. i have many lupus symptoms but also bladder pain for months. is this result likely lupus or uti related?

Accepted Answer

: They can co-exist pl see a Urologist to differentiate. Hope you feel better

Question 5

i had a urinalysis pos. for trace protein, trace ketones, & small leukocytes. no uti symptoms except urine leakage. culture = below 10kcfu group b strep. also had elevated skin cells in urinalysis. does this signal infection? neg. for stds but had bv?

Accepted Answer

: Was this a careful clean catch specimen? The findings are not consistent with a urinary tract infection as that small amount of bacteria in the colony count most likely comes from inevitable &amp; unavoidable contamination of the specimen by skin bacteria. However, if you're experiencing urinary symptoms, I recommend consulting a urologist for appropriate workup.

Question 6

my urinalysis was negative except for protein (+1) and presence of amorphous sediment. what does this mean? do i have a uti? thank you.

Accepted Answer

Probably no UTI: The main urinalysis abnormality in UTI is increased white blood cells; or on a dipstick test, positive leukocyte esterase and nitrites. Amorphous sediment is entirely normal. 1+ protein usually also doesn't mean anything. So no evidence at all of UTI. Beyond that, discuss with your doctor.

Question 7

i've had a low grade fever for 4 weeks. urinalysis is positive for bilirubin, protein and blood. cbc shows mono%13. any idea what all of that means?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The best thing you can do here is to see an infectious diseases expert. You have what is called fever of undetermined origin, and this needs a detailed evaluation, not more antibiotics.  Blood in urine is tuberculosis or cancer until proven otherwise. Go see an id doctor now, and good luck, .

Question 8

my protein count in a urinalysis was 30-70 is that  dangerous?

Accepted Answer

May be: Is that mg/dl or 24 hour value?
For a random urine sample, the normal values are approximately 0 to 8 mg/dl.
For a 24-hour urine collection, the normal value is less than 80 mg per 24 hours.
If your protein in urine is 30-70/dl that is abnormal and you should consult your doctor for doing a 24 hour urine protein or at least protein/creatinine ratio.

Question 9

what would cause someone to have +300 things of protein in their urinalysis?

Accepted Answer

Glomerular disease: Protein in  urine is usually due to damage to the glomeruli of the kidneys and infections in the urinary system. Common reasons of kidney damage are diabetes, hypertension, and inflammations of the glomeruli. If you have protein in urine it would be prudent to consult your doctor for evaluation and treatment.

Question 10

if the protein in urinalysis are positive what does it means?

Accepted Answer

Proteinuria: Protein in your urine is a "bad" sign that your kidneys may not be healthy.  Unfortunately, it is also important to know what type of protein, as well as how much you are losing in your urine - you should see a nephrologist.
