See doctor: There are many reasons for spot urine protein, from infection, not drink enough water, other diseases that cause proteinuria.It is best that you follow up with doctor to find out the causes of your proteinuria.

trace of protein8mg: It means you have trace of protein which is 8mgm/mmol it is not significant, as 5to20mgm is considered trace and does not mean there is any kidney disease and sometime can be considered normal.

Family practice: You are young so chances are it probably isn't anything to worry about. I would have it retested. The strips are sensitive and the colors are sometimes misread. If it still shows positive for protein i would check a blood test for your kidneys. Protein should not be excreted through normal kidneys.
