I'm curious, is it normal to find traces of protein in a complete urine test when you have a fever? Can you explain if that's something to worry about?

Traces of protein in the urine means a small amount of protein ,which could be normal or due to urinary tract infection.But a larger amount of protein indicates serious disorders of kidneys. You could repeat the urine analysis after few days and if it shows presence of protein , you need to go through further tests.
