A member asked:

Why would you have bacteria and protein in your urine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UTI: Bacteria will not survive in any appreciable number in urine in the absence of overt infection, and the protein is either the result of the infection damaging tissues with protein release, or the kidney's filtering mechanism is defective and leaking protein through the glomerulus.
