A member asked:

On urine test found protein 10 mg- is it bad? what does it mean?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

You're okay: This is close to where most people fall, near the top of most "reference ranges" in mg/dl. Urine concentrations vary because different people drink different amounts of water. I would not be concerned.

Little significance: Total amount of protein excreted in 24 hours should be measured if necessary.
