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

Is protein normally found in urine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am a 42 year old male. I had severe fever with diarrhea one week ago, along with shivering. I did blood and urine tests, and the urine report showed protein 1+ in urine. Is protein in urine normal during a fever, or should I be concerned?

Hello Doctor, within the last week my whole body has become swollen. I also have constipation with heavy gas in my stomach. After checking my urine test report, my doctor said that albumin is leaking into my urine and mentioned that it may be related to a kidney problem. Please advise
