My urine report shows a trace amount of protein, while the rest of the parameters are normal. Is it okay to have trace protein in urine, or should I be concerned?

Trace protein on dipstick can be normal after exercise or dehydration. Repeat with a first morning urine sample. If protein persists, get a Urine Microalbumin test to evaluate kidney health. Discuss findings with your doctor if risk factors like hypertension or diabetes are present.

Can foamy urine be caused from eating too much fat?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I already tested uric acid and serum creatinine. My report was normal. What is the reason for sometimes having foamy or bubbly urine and sometimes pain in the left upper back and right side? Is it serious?

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.
