: Protein in your urine means you are having kidney damage from something mostly diabetes or high blood pressure. Always send normal values. I do not recognize an anion gap of 216. Impossible I think depending on how they are measuring. it. Something is making your kidneys smaller. Discuss with your Drs who have looked at the films. i
