A member asked:

On my recent routine blood & urine test report, it was stated that i have a "trace" of albumin in my urine. i'm 16 years old & i have severe health anxiety. i keep thinking that i have an underlying condition.at the time of test, i had a bad cold/flu?

Trace=trace: Trace would be an occasional finding on normal people with no health issues. It would be more likely during an illness. Significant levels would be stated as such. I would look into finding a life coach who could help you develop skills to deal with your anxiety.

Trace: Urinary protein is normal finding. See a counselor for counseling about health anxiety. Just know that anxiety about your health will not prevent you from getting sick. All we have to do is get routine preventive care, healthy lifestyle, exercise and hope for the best.
