Lots of Protein In Urine...should I Be Worried?
Posted: 10-16-04 01:24am

Went in for an appointment today in search
of a remedy for my month-long headache,
and somehow they managed to get a urine
test in there. And after doing my
business and giving them the sample, they
told me I had a lot of protein in my
urine.
Is that a bad thing, or is it normal?
Don't know if age or gender make a
difference, but i'm a 17-year-old female
who has had a urinary tract infection in
teh past year (dysuria).

I believe I read somewhere before that
having protein in the urine is not good.
Yes some is ok but not a lot. Please
don't quote me I dont want to scare you or
anything but I believe that is what I read
before.

I also have large amounts of protien in my
urine and you are right it is not a good
thing.My Dr. Is sending me to a
nephrologist(kidney doctor)because he
feels it is the early signs of kidney
disease which can lead to kidney failure.I
have been prescibed prednisone(steroids)
to help with the protien which has made me
retain a lot of fluid 40lb in 2months. If
anyone is familiar with treatments or
other options,please post.

Just so you know I had a very serious case
of e-coli which because of dehydration
attacked the kidneys. I still have
protein and trace amounts of blood in the
urine (5 months later). Still looking for
answers as the doctors tell you nothing of
real importance, just what the data says.
Can you repair kidney damage ? I have
asked and got a kinda blank stare. So if
anybody knows the answer please do tell.
And to all the others I hope you are
doing better. :d
thanks

Side Effects of Protiens In Urine
Posted: 10-10-05 08:19am

Protein in urine can be a temporary or a
regular feature and clearly takes away the
immunity as well as the potency of the
male. This is serious and a result of a
highly tensed irregular life style with no
physical exercise and improper food
intake.
It can be cured by powerful drugs which
are not without side effects and insomnia
and obesity are usual outcomes for the
same.
Change in lifestyle will be much more
helpful along with mineral rich leafy
diet.Look up many sites offering
information on the same and slowly regain
normal health for life time rather than
get into a vicious circle of high dose
drugs if your position is not yet critical
enough.

Protein In Urine

Hi all,
i am 32 year of age. I have been dignosed
with protein in my urine for last 6 years.
Still I can observe protein in my urine.
Nephrologist had recommmened me predisone
(steroids) and later on azathioprine. I
kept on using these drugs for 6 years but
still no luck. My kidney biopsy showed
damage of kidney tissues
(glomerulonephritis). I agree with
herbsandcures's post we need to make
changes in our life styles.
I would request herbsandcures to post more
about protein in urine such as if he has
observed some paitent over his life span
or if someone controlled his protein
following some insturctions for life sytle
or food.

Your kidneys spill the protein, mine was
from kidney disease, yours prolly just
kidney infection from the uti. It can
also be present in urine if you have
diabeties, but then they would have told
you they also found sugar in your urine,
which im assuming they did not.
When the uti clears and the effects of it
disappear the protein spill should also
quit.

You can ask for a copy of the lab reports
and right on there it will say normal
values and what your values were. Just
ask the receptionist at the dr and you
sign something and they give you a copy.
I spill protein and I have no idea what
normal values are. Sorry

Normal Protein In Urine
Posted: 01-19-06 12:41pm

The normal value is less than 150 mg/day,
or less than 10 mg/dl.
Glomerular disease, such as nephrotic
syndrome may result in urine protein of
greater than 3.5 gm/day.
You should search internet for more
details on protein in urine.
Try search string "protein in urine" in
google.Com

Hi
Please keep us updated on how you are
doing with the med's for the protein in
urine.
When do you see the nephrologist?
