Could be ok: You may have a normal ultrafiltration or you could have other problems, good to check with your doctor .

Not necessarily: !+ protein (30 mg/dl) is slightly high However, a dipstick analysis alone is not enough to determine the reason or its importance A contaminated specimen, a current urinary tract infection, etc., can affect the result. If your doctor is concerned, the test can be repeated, or further testing ordered. Proteinuria is the term for protein in the urine. It is often a bit higher in normal pregnancies
