Does high protein in urine always mean kidney disease?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi Doctor, I am 29 weeks pregnant. Yesterday I did my regular routine test and today I got the report. In my report it shows protein trace and bacteria present but I have no high blood pressure, no weight gain, and no edema.
