A member asked:

I have had intermittent right flank pain for a few days. i did a home urine dipstick and have protein. do i need to see gp? no other symptoms

Absolutely: It needs to be investigated to find out the cause of the proteinuria . Is it diabetes, is it hypertension or is it something else causing proteinuria.
