You also need an examination of the urine sediment to look for abnormalities there. Speak with your rheumatologist.

Accepted Answer

Proteinuria: Protein is normally not found in urine. The usual system used to quantify protein is 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.

what does high glucose and protein in urine mean?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes is likely: High glucose (sugar) and protein in urine are common signs of diabetes or other kidney problems. Please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. 
If your results were from a screening dipstick, they may be false positives.  Sometimes urine will show high glucose and protein right after exercise or eating, but return to normal later. Again, please check with your primary care provider.

my urine test was done and it show a trace of 30
pro time in urine .. my alc was also 7.0 .. im worried .. what could protein in urine mean ?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if your a1c is 7.0 you are diabetic and having protein in urine puts you at risk of kidney failure. It is imperative that you discuss this with your doctor.     
Wish you good health!

Question 7

what exactly does blood & protein in urine mean when kidney test says normal?

Accepted Answer

Blood and protein: Blood (b) in your urine( u) is an abnormal finding. Protein (p) in your urine is abnormal when it is > 80 mg/day. Your lab work may be normal when b and p first appear in your u. Do a 24 hour urine for creatinine clearance and protein and have a renal ultrasound (us). If the us doesn't show any bleeding site, have cystoscopy. If you have > 1 gram of protein/day, you may need a kidney biopsy.

Question 8

what is protein in urine mean if kidney disease?

Accepted Answer

Many causes.: Renal disease from causes like diabetes, sle, and others accounts for the major reasons for protein in the urine.  Protein should not be in the urine.  The kidney basement membrane is supposed to keep it out.  If it isn't intact, protein leaks out.  In burns, accidents, etc., things like myoglobin leak out, and in poststrep. Glomerulonephritis, anythhing can leak out, but these resolve with rx..

Question 9

what does 1+ protein in urine mean? i had a blood test and my dr wants me to see an nephrologist

Accepted Answer

Proteinuria: Proteinuria is a condition, not a diagnosis. It can be caused by several diseases, among them hiv, diabetes, lupus, membranous glomerulonephritis, among others. You need to see a nephrologist to have a 24 hour urine collected to assess your kidney function and how much protein your urine has in it. The nephrologist will also take blood tests to rule out the conditions, and others, discussed above.
