Proteinuria: This can be due to glomerular disease, to increased quantity of proteins in serum, or to to low reabsorption of protein by the proximal tubules. This value is slightly high but has little meaning by itself without your medical history and other laboratory values and having the ability to examine you. If dissatisfied with your doctor's opinion get a second assessment.

Most likely: Normal urine protein is up to 150 mg/24 hours. Usual urine output is around 1-2 liters. At 60 mg/l in you case you will have a total of 120 mg/24 if your urine is 2 liters/day.

Hi. I was diagnosed with a uti 3 weeks ago. I've been feeling ill, nauseous, tired, no appetite for two weeks. Pain in back and ribs, left hip bone and pelvis. Been to ER x2 & my GP x3 . I'm told uti is gone. Told I'm constipated or acid reflux?
Urine sample found: protein + and sodium ++. Doctor prescribed ciprofloxacin. I am still getting symptoms of uti. Help.
Just ran my urine, had leukocytes of 3+, protein reading of +-, nitrate +, and pH is normally 6.0 and has increased to a 7.0. Should I be concerned? No signs or symptoms of UTI. I do have mirena inserted.
If I have 30mg/dl of protein in my urine during a uti, is this normal or do I have kidney damage from this? Can i treat this without abx?
