Sounds like you have a condition termed “proteinuria” - excessive amounts of protein in urine. MAY indicate a problem with your kidney and needs to be more fully evaluated. See a Nephrologist (kidney doctor)

30 mg/dl of protein in the urine will be reported as abnormal by lab reference but it could be misleading. With concentrated urine that number could be normal or if urine is diluted, the same number could be very abnormal. If urine protein/creatinine or 24 hr collection is done the result is independent with urine concentration. Bubble urine is not a reliable way to assess kidney problem.
