I am not sure what units you are using and now the urine was collected. Spot urine or 24 hours. Protein in the urine is often a sign of kidney damage. In healthy young people, it can be a temporary non concerning issue . You should see your doctor

I assume you had 24 hour urine collection which showed 2717 mg of protein. Yes, this is heavy proteinuria, You need to see a nephrologist if you have not seen one.
