Yes large amounts are bad. It signifies that your kidneys are not functioning well.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a Multiple Myeloma Panel By Flow Cytometery Test or Take a BILIRUBIN CONJUGATED (DIRECT) - SERUM Test

I am concerned about my urine test report. It shows the presence of 2+ protein, blood cells, and pus cells, while my creatinine and urea levels are normal. I have attached the report for your review. Could you please help me understand what this indicates and whether I should be worried?

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
