Yes, high protein in urine means that one has kidney disease or their kidneys are not working properly.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a DENGUE IgM - ELISA/ELFA/CLIA - HR Test or Take a Herpes Simplex Virus (Hsv) Type 1 IgG Antibodies Test

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

I have 1+ protein in my urine report. Is that something to be worried about? Do I need to test anything more? What medicine is best to cure this?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Kindly check my urine report. It shows a trace of protein in the urine. I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and would like to know if this is normal during pregnancy or if I should be concerned. Is it harmful for the baby, or does it indicate anything serious?
