A member asked:
If one stops drinking will level of protein in urine go back to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Protein in the urine isn't usually due to drinking, so stopping won't make a difference. If you have abnormal levels of protein in the urine, you should find out why.
