Hello. Thank you for posting.
Protein in the urine, also called proteinuria, is often a sign of kidney problems, or an overproduction of proteins by the body. Healthy kidneys only pass a small amount of protein through their filters. There may be no symptoms of protein in the urine until it is picked up during medical tests.
The two most common risk factors for proteinuria are:
Diabetes
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Examples of other causes of proteinuria include:
Medications
Trauma
Toxins
Infections
Immune system disorders
