No: Despite the fact your creatinine clearance is normal, your 24 hour protein elimination is higher than normal, indicating a problem with your kidneys even if the filtering function is still good. You will need to see a kidney specialist to look for the cause.

May not be okay...: Based on one set of test, a definitive conclusion can not be drawn. In fact, a good history, physical exam, serial tests in conjunction with other related tests are required to deduce a conclusion and give a reasonable advice. But, for sure, you need a close follow-up by a related professional such as pcp or nephrologist. Best.
