A member asked:

Dipstick shows 15 mg(?) of protein in my every morning urine test, but no trace found during days or nights. is this sign of kidney disease or damage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: This sounds like positional proteinuria which is not equivalent with kidney failure. They are likely checking other things with bloodworm that will reflect kidney function too.
