Yes large amounts are bad. It signifies that your kidneys are not functioning well.

I am concerned about my urine test report. It shows the presence of 2+ protein, blood cells, and pus cells, while my creatinine and urea levels are normal. I have attached the report for your review. Could you please help me understand what this indicates and whether I should be worried?

I want to know about the lab report of my father. Is there any problem in the urinary tract? What does it mean when protein levels are high?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
