What to do if i have high protein levels in urine in a 13 yr old girl?

Teens w/ proteinuria: First make sure it's real. Get a first morning urine sample or a 24 hour total protein by collecting all urine over 24 hours. If indeed elevated, then needs a full kidney work-up - there are many causes from nephrotic syndrome to damaged kidneys.Athletic kids often spill increased levels of protein because of increased muscle use, so some labs and good history/physical with blood pressures needed!

See your doctor: The urine needs to be repeated. A persistent high protein needs to be reviewed by a nephrologist. More tests need to be done to rule out a disease of the kidneys
