A member asked:

The doctor said the protein in urine was 15 and not a lot, how much protein in urine is normal?

Dr. Donna Hanes answered

Up to 150 mg per day: Normal people can excrete up to 150 mg per day. This will increase with exercise and upright posture, but 15 mg per day is small and no reason to worry.
