A member asked:

What does it mean when they find high protein in you're urine ? is it serious?

Dr. Jay Park answered

Could be but...: Needs more studies whether excessive protein excretion in urine is to be concerned. Underlying conditions such as diabetes mellitus or systemic lupus certainly raise concern. There is also a benign condition known as orthostatic proteinuria.
