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 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.

Hello sir. Concerning my urine test report we found that there is presence of protein and a few blood cells in the urine whereas the creatinine and urea are normal. How does it affect my kidney?

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?
