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?

Mild protein in urine (1+) can occur during infections. Recheck urine after recovery to rule out kidney issues.

What causes a negative protein in urine?

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?

Question

Does high protein in urine always mean kidney disease?
