protein in urine bladder infection

Is it a urine infection or something else? Has anyone else had a urine infection in the third trimester? The midwife sent a urine sample to be tested but havnt had the results yet.

The samples have been tested for bacteria/infection resulting in no infection found. An ultrasound of my kidneys (gall bladder, liver, pancreas, spleen and aorta) along with a urine cytology was negative as well. I do have constant lower back pain and just a general unwell feeling with no other symptoms. I am waiting on an appointment for an ultrasound of my bladder in two weeks. Could you please provide some insight as to what this might be.

Having small amounts of protein in your urine is common in pregnancy. It can happen for a number of reasons. It probably just means that your kidneys are working harder now that you're pregnant. It could also mean that your body is fighting a minor infection. Your midwife may send a sample of your urine to the hospital to check if you have a urinary tract infection (UTI). If you have a UTI, your doctor will prescribe an antibiotic that is safe to take in pregnancy.

Hi, You must have microscopic hematuria if you do not observe the blood grossly in the urine.Microscopic hematuria refers to presence of rbc's in the urine detected through microscopic examination. This may be benign in origin. Engaging in heavy exercises prior to giving your urine sample may cause hematuria. History of intake of certain medications my also cause benign hematuria. Your previous history of repeated infections may alo contribute to the hematuria.

after having urine test there was blood and protein present in my urine after ultra sound they found a shadow on my left kidney and i had a sistoscopy results were normal now i am going for a cat scan .i ca not see blood in my urine but tests show i have microscopic amount of blood in my urine and infection has been ruled out.what could be wrong with me.?

i am facing the foaming in my urine. after test the little protein is highlighted and some time the blood symptoms also there. but the problem is that i have no such pain in my kidneys or penis or testicles or any other place but because of protein in urine my body is shrinking.i am looking weaker then before and my hairs also falling rapidly. i have no idea what should i do? i go to doctor for checkup but it won't works. please any suggestion share with me. thanks.

Blood in urine or hematuria with burning pain while urinating, is usually a sign of infection. Infection can be in the kidney, bladder, ureters and urethra. Presence of blood and high protein in urine is an indication of renal impairment. I would suggest that you get a serum creatinine level and a check of 24 hour urine protein level to determine the exact level of protein and there by the level of damage to the kidney due to recurrent infections.

My son is 19 years old and for the last 5 years my son has had to get a physical so he can play football. Every year like clock work there was protein and some blood in his urine. Four years ago is protein level was at 300. Now its at 2000. About a years ago it was 2000 and our family doctor asked me to take my son to a Urologist. The urologist ran several years and was not sure why we were referrred. The urologist basically gave my son a clean bill of health.

I would also like to add I went to a Primary care phys. today & had a urine test. I was told I had a bladder infection & given meds to clear it up. Will a bladder infection cause protein in urine?? Sorry so many questions....

Not necessarily, but if left untreated then the protein in your urine from the infection can be dangerous to the pregnancy. Consult your doctor asap whenever you have any sign of a UTI.

Hi, my son who is seven had a sinus infection so we went to the dr. and they checked his urine and it had protein in it so we did a first morning urine check and their was no protein in urine but their was alot of bubbles and strong smell but the dr. said that it didn't mean anything i'm still concerned any suggestions of what it could be or what i should do?

When he went back for a recheck the infection was gone but he had blood in his urine which he says he can not see. He was sent to a urologist who also found blood still in his urine. He said there were 5 red blood cells which was not high. He has ordered a CT scan of his kindeys. My question is can a boy that young already develop kindey stones and what causes them? Is there anything that can be changed in his diet to help prevent them?

My teenage son has protein in his urine. He was seen this week by his primay doctor and an Urologist.

I would like to know if anyone can help me with this matter and how can I make this condition with protein in urine better for my son.. Your help is greatly appreciate it...

With both my pregnancies at 22 weeks I've had sugar in my urine and my Dr made me take the diabetes test, came back normal and every urine test after is normal

Hi. There are very many causes for high protein levels in a dog's urine, the most common being diet - though other causes can be more serious. I would start writing down everything you are feeding her, including all treats, and then pass this information on to your vet when you next see them.

Not sure if urine foam is caused any bladder or prostate issues. But no infection found in any lab work or dipstick testing. Any inputs helpful.

Bacterial infections also may be carried to one or both kidneys through the bloodstream or lymph glands from infection that began in the bladder. Kidney infection also results from urine that becomes stagnant due to obstruction of free urinary flow. A blockage or abnormality of the urinary system, such as those caused by stones, tumors, congenital deformities, or loss of bladder function from nerve disease, increases a person's risk of pyelonephritis.

Strong fruity odor is due to uncontrolled diabetes. Interestingly urine odor changes in menopause too. Urinary bladder infection and kidney infections do produce strong smelling urine. Another reason is dehydration. Strong ammonia smell is due to protein breakdown. With increased frequency of urine UTI, bladder infection and diabetes have to be ruled out. Please discuss this with your doctor. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Yes, high levels of WBC in urine along with protein indicates infection. The most common cause of blood in urine is UTI. The next possible diagnosis is stone. The stone can be anywhere in the urinary system from kidney to urethra. Cancers of urinary system or some drugs too cause blood in urine. Bladder infections and cysts too can cause similar symptoms. This needs further investigations and a consultation with an urologist. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted.

But he said there was protein in my urine so now I have to take the 24 hours urine test. Any thoughts on actually having preclampsia without having high blood pressure. I haven't changed in dilation or effacing at all since last week.

You could be working on a UTI or other infection, related to the kidneys. Sometimes in later pregnancy, protein in the urine could signal possible preeclampsia, but that shouldn't be an issue at 15 weeks. I'm sure the doctor's will follow you closely and make sure you don't have any bladder/kidney infections, etc.

Last time I went to midwife 9th jan I had protein in urine sample they sent it of and I had a uti.

s lymphoma, kidney disease, leukemia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and sickle cell anemia are a few of the many conditions that can cause protein in urine, according to the Mayo Clinic. Also keep in mind that certain medications and dehydration can also cause the problem.

Even a mild urine infection can cause traces of protein in the urine ie protein is found in blood and with a uti it is common to have a small amount of blood in the urine - hence trace of protein as well. have a urine test done to outrule infection and have your kidney function measured by a simple blood test ;) re the altter ie blood test, even one poor egfr can also be the result of a uti!!!!! you need to show a steady pattern of poor egfr to indicate ckd.

Protein in urine is a sign of infection. Did your doctor give you medication? They should have.

My vet spayed my 6month old puppy in December and she ended up with a strep infection in her bladder. It is four months later, she still has trouble urinating, has crystals in the urine. I have been told that the strep infection is gone but she still had the crystals. what could be causing the crystals, there are no stones in the bladder.

I have had lower abdominal discomfort but this may be due to the inflammation. What is casts? no protein was found. One urine test they done showed sugar in my urine but not sure if thats still present. I will do another urine test this week. Would any kidney stones of shown up on the x-ray or the ultrasound? When I went to see a different doctor to whom referred me he said I should not of had to go through the cystoscopy because of my age. And to go see him before my next urology appointment.

Strong fruity odor is due to uncontrolled diabetes. Interestingly urine odor changes in menopause too (in ladies). Urinary bladder infection and kidney infections do produce strong smelling urine. Another reason is dehydration. Strong ammonia smell is due to protein breakdown. Drink more water during the day and see if this helps. Otherwise discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
