A member asked:

Does water dilute the protein in urine if you have protein in urine.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you drink enough water to dilute the urine, it will reduce the concentration, but not the total amount of protein, in urine. A proper test would measure creatinine content of urine to correct for excessive water in urine.
