Yes, high protein in urine means that one has kidney disease or their kidneys are not working properly.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a DENGUE IgM - ELISA/ELFA/CLIA - HR Test or Take a Herpes Simplex Virus (Hsv) Type 1 IgG Antibodies Test

My wife is 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant. On 31st August 2022, her urine report indicates a trace of protein. Earlier on 19th August 2022, there was no trace of protein in the urine. Is this a matter of serious concern?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Earlier, my urine was foamy, and a previous urine report showed trace amounts of protein. So, I underwent further urine tests including USG Abdomen & Pelvis and microalbumin tests. I have attached these reports and would appreciate help in understanding if everything is okay now. Currently, my urine is clear.

I have been noticing foam in my urine every day. I underwent a protein creatinine ratio test today. Please find my report attached for your review.
