A member asked:

6yr old never had uti got test today negative her protein said 30 she was a lil dehydrated is protein normal what could cause it it's been 30 a month

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Positional factors: The most common reason for small amounts of protein in a kids urine is their upright posture.If I ever get one I have the next specimen obtained as the first morning pee. Standing around all day seems to allow some to leak but it doesn't happen overnight when they are horizontal. Often girls give a squat pee, which actually has some vaginal debris in it, poor samples can also do this.
