A member asked:

I'm a 22 yr old female with traces of protein in my urine, will it get worse in the future?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Protein loss in the urine is not normal. Depending on the condition, it can go any way (stay the same, decrease or increase). See a kidney doctor to run some tests to find out the cause. This will allow better clues as to whether it will get worse.
