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.

Hi Doctor, I am 29 weeks pregnant. Yesterday I did my regular routine test and today I got the report. In my report it shows protein trace and bacteria present but I have no high blood pressure, no weight gain, and no edema.
