How dangerous is that having a protein in kidney?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends...: There are many conditions that can result in protein in the urine. Perhaps the most common condition is a urinary tract infection. Unfortunately, if protein in the urine is diagnosed individually without any other signs of infection, the there needs to be a series of studies to assess for causes. These can be benign or progressive. You would need a nephrologist for this.

How much protein?: Small amt protein in urine may not be dangerous. The larger the amount the greater the chance of kidney damage and eventual kidney failure.
