A member asked:

My mum has protein in her urine. blood pressure and pulse rate are normal. what is the protein in urine indicative of?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Proteinuria: A normal amount of proteinuria (p) per day is 80 mg. You mom needs to have a neprhologist order a 24 hour urine for p to see how much of it she has. Blood work will also be sent off to see if she has diabetes or a glomerular disease causing her to have her p. She also may need a kidney biopsy to determine a diagnosis, prognosis and a treatment plan if the blood work is not diagnostic of the cause.
