They are not found in urine because the kidneys filter out toxins out of the body and healthy kidneys do not filter out proteins and sugars.

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing foamy urine for the past 3 to 4 days. I do not have diabetes or high blood pressure. I have also attached my urine test report for reference.

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.
