Common Questions and Answers about Protein in urine home test

protein

Avatar f tn Sorry if I posted this under the wrong topic,nothing else seemed to fit for my question.Anyway this morning I did a at home 10 panel urine test and it showed a trace of protein in my urine.My ph. was around 6.5 and everything else was negative or "normal".What I have found so far online is that stress can cause protein in the urine if there is no disease like kidney problems or diebetes,which I don't think I have.So is protein in the normal okay for me?
4503521 tn?1400858886 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.
Avatar f tn Well, went for a Dr appointment and I have high blood pressure. No protein in my urine though. They're monitoring me and I have to do a 24 hour home urine test. I'm 31 weeks.
1305271 tn?1320984748 Protein in the urine in not a sign of pregnancy but can result in pregnant women who expereince a complication called preeclampsia (does not occur until 2nd-3rd trimester). Protein in your urine could indicate a problem with your kidneys. I do hope you have a follow-up with your doctor.
Avatar m tn i have a protein level of 300 in my urine should i be worried and what should i do if this is bad? Plus what is a normal protein level in urine?
Avatar f tn I had a urine sample today at midwife appointment and they found protein in urine and now investigating.
8408613 tn?1414894692 So I went to the hospital the other night and they told me there was 30 mg of protein in my urine. Is that a lot?? I had to do the 24 hour pee test and they are checking me for pre eclampsia.
Avatar m tn 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.
1527017 tn?1291671470 However, rereading your post I am unsure if you are mixing the tests urine protein against urine keytones? Keytones present in the urine means your body is expelling excess sugar via your urinary tract. Are you diabetic or being considered a diabetic? Best to call your doctors office for an explanation.
Avatar n tn I have had five urine test that showed blood in my urine with no infection. I am not pregnant. I am 41. I have endometriosis. I hope that this has nothing to do with the endo. My pain is in my back just under my bra line on the left. It runs down the left side of my back and on the lower left. Sometimes I get the same pain on the right side, but most of the time it is on the left. It is a burning sensation. It also runs up into my shoulder and down my left arm.
Avatar f tn I had high BP and had to do a 24 hour urine test and came back with protein in my urine. As long as the protein is not accompanied by high BP or swelling, you're good. :) I'm actually being induced on the 14th at 37 weeks because of Pre E. I was diagnosed with it at 32 weeks and have been closely monitored since then.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn When I was had protein in my urine it meant I had pre-eclampsia and which is not good at all. What has your doctor said?
Avatar f tn You may also need 24 hours urine test, random protein to creatinine ratio to check the kidney status and a serum and urine protein electrophoresis test to determine which proteins are being excreted and in what quantities. Sometimes, some proteins will appear in the urine if the levels of protein in blood become high, even when the kidney is functioning properly. I suggest you to discuss these investigations with your urologist and get them done. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
Avatar n tn Im 15 weeks pregnant i just received my urine test result i have one (+)plus in my urine. Does anyone had the same problem in pregnancy, what i should do?
Avatar m tn Don't worry about it unless/until the doctor says there's a problem. I'm not a doctor but he's probably testing you for postural proteinuria as opposed to persistent proteinuria. From what I've read apparently it's possible to have protein in your urine while standing up and none while you're lying down. It's supposed to be fairly common for young people to have and they normally outgrow it.
Avatar n tn I had high protein 2 weeks ago. Tested again this week and it was normal. Most women test high at some point in pregnancy, doesn't mean anything unless you get more than one in a row. I hadn't eaten much 2 weeks ago, that was probably the reason it was high for me. Dehydration can be another reason. Odds are you have nothing to worry about, just take it as it comes. Good luck, and congrats on the baby!
Avatar n tn Hello, Most chemical tests for pregnancy look for the presence of the beta subunit of hCG or human chorionic gonadotropin in the urine. hCG can be detected in urine after implantation of zygote in the wall of the uterus formed by the union of the sperm & the ovum, which occurs six to twelve days after fertilization. Ideally urine for pregnancy test should be done after 1 week of your missed periods date.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn High protein in urine can be extremely dangerous for me and baby. Causing seizures or other heart problems. My protein is border line which means they caught it early. A sign of it is high BP which is how they knew to test my urine.

8408613 tn?1414894692 Wondering the same thing here. They been telling me I've had protein in my urine for about 3 months now.
Avatar n tn if protein is not found in urine, will urine antibody test for any disease show no results? Or is it possible that there is antibody in urine but urine routine will show no protein present ?
Avatar f tn I had protein in my unrine once while I was pregnant. Never had it before and never had it again.
Avatar n tn Hi i am 32 female i had a Hysterectomy a little over a year ago with many Complications i still have my Ovaries. anyway for tha past year i have had a many test s showing that my protein in my urine are very hi ? plus i get up through the nihgt to pee at least 4-6 times a night and about every 6 months i get a very strong urine smell but after all the test they still say there is nothing worng and my levels are not high enough yet to send me to a speacilist?
Avatar f tn The only time I have heard of it is when you may have preclampsia and they take the urin for 24 hours then test the proiten in it. If you have had high blood pressure or they seen some protein in the urin or if you are swelling. Do you have any of those symptom??
Avatar f tn every time I go to the doctors office almost always when they do a urine test it comes back with bacteria or protein in it. But when they send it off to a lab it shows all is fine. This has happened so many times and I have been prescribed medications for it so many times that I developed an allergic reaction to one. Why would this thing happen with my urine so everytime? Also it happens no matter if I use mid stream or not.
