Where ?: Physicians on the site are better able to give you answer when you provide enough basic information.Protein is a normal building block of the body.It's presence in different areas like blood,urine, spinal fluid, lymphatic fluid, stool are all expected. Since you have not provided better information, no clear answer is possible.
