protein in urine plus 1

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.

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?

Hey Brendan, if you haven't already, you should definitly see a nephrologist so they can run a complete blood work-up to get a better idea of what is going on. How are you doing now?

My teenage son has protein in his urine. He was seen this week by his primay doctor and an Urologist. I am concern and scare that he would have issues with his kidneys..Blood work was done and he going to have an ultrasound on both Kidneys and Bladder..Also he is going to be seen by a Nephrology. 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...

It is best to get a repeat test within a month. The common causes of protein in urine are a transient leakiness in the kidney’s membrane seen in fever, infection, etc. Transient proteinuria usually requires no special treatment. If your daughter is not having any symptoms suggestive of kidney disease do not worry. Get her retested. Keep me updated. Best luck and regards!

What's the difference between a trace of protein and 1+ protein? 2 seperate tests - one was 1+ 2+ 3+ the other was trace 3++ etc. A few weeks ago at my obs apt I had 1+ and ongoing since my last test strip. Well today at the regular docs I tested and it was a totally different dipstick which only read trace. Do they even out to be the se reading?

My 5 years old son has been having protein in urine for the last year. This was discovered during a regular check up. His protein has always been +1 and the blood work always been good. He has been seen by a pediatric nephrologist. The doctor now recommends a kidney biopsy as he can’t explain the protein in urine (he has no other symptoms). Anyone has had such experience?

Have protein(ketones) in your urine means you aren't eating enough, so your body is using up fat reserves as a source of energy, therefore meaning your body is in starvation mode

I am a ftm due in July and have already been in the hospital once for contractions, I was kept overnight. Well today I was looking at my urine results from my appointment today. It showed I have 1+ for urine protein & trace for urine leukocyte esterase. My doctors nurse called me to discuss what it means but I missed the call. Help!! Has anyone else had this? I read it can be a sign of preclampseia!

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.

Just been to see midwife have protein plus in my urine but no high blood pressure anyone else had this thanks

protien in your urine plus swelling can mean preclampsia. And normally they should do a 24 hour urine collect with you.That is what I had to do.and they monitor your BP.

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.

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.

Wondering the same thing here. They been telling me I've had protein in my urine for about 3 months now.

I have high levels of protein in my urine @ 35 weeks. anyone else? what has your doctor told you about it?

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.

I am almost 38 weeks. My urine has been good until now where there showed a trace of protein in my urine. My doctor hasn't called me to tell me anything, I found out by seeing the results online. I'm guessing they are not worried and will just speak to me at my next week's appointment. I have also lost 6 pounds since last week. What is going on!

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.

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.

Hi, When was the first time that you were diagnosed with diabetes? Are you taking any medications for the diabetes? Proteinuria may need further assessment. Were casts present in the urine? Are there RBC's in the urine significant enough for a hematuria ( >5 /hpf)? You may need blood tests to determine serum creatinine and BUN levels. Your glomerular filtration rate has to be ascertained. Discuss this with your physician and keep us posted regarding his advice.

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.

You're blood pressure would be up if you had pre eclampsia. That's what pre-eclampsia is high blood pressure. There are many reasons you could have protein in your urine. It's a problem if it's there in high amounts several times. If you have sex before your sample (even the night before) it can cause protein to show in your urine.

At my last midwife appt at 36wks I had protein in my urine but normal bp. I also get pain in my bladder when baby moves like a sharp shooting pain, but no other symtoms. 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.

If your blood pressure is high and you have protein in your urine it's because your kidneys are not functioning properly to filter the protein out. Protein in your urine without high blood pressure is usually due to diet, dehydration, or something preexisting.

I feel like i had it undiagnosed with my first and have been worrying about getting it this time. Then with protein in my urine im getting even more worried. Any insite?
