Had urinalysis done and it showed i had 30mg/dl of protien in my urine what does this mean?

Proteinuria: The first thing is to have your physician send off a 24 hour urine collection to quantify the amount of protein in your urine/day and to assess your kidney function. Depending on the amount of the proteinuria, i would send off blood for aso, anca 2, complement C3 and c4, hiv, hepatitis b antibodies, hb a1c and ana. A renal biopsy may be needed, if your proteinuria is > 1 gram/day. Good luck.

Possibly orthostatic: Is proteinuria when ur up ; about ; usually insignificant. 30mg/dl is just above trace on urinalysis dipstick. Suggest repeat urine test 1st thing in am after 7-8 hrs sleep having emptied bladder about 2 hrs after retiring. This sample would be pure recumbent ; reliable sample. Would need 24 hr urine 4 protein if above sample still shows protein. Only need work-up if 24 hr urinary protein elevated.
