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 would like to know more about also. Did you find anything out at all ?

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

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.

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.

I was told by my doctor I have a high level of protien in my urine I am 41 could any one tell me what they consider high and what they consider low say 10 is low and 100 is high how do they judge

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

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.

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?

I'm also another 17 year old female that has a protein level of 250 mg/day and everytime its just kept getting higher and higher. I still have very bad kidney infections that eventually lead to kidney stones.. I'm always tired and I never feel like getting up and going...I have had 2 kidney stones just this year. I've been prescribed steriods and everything and my protein level still continues to go up and I still have kidney infections. I've surgery on my bladder and kidneys cleaning them out but nuttins changed...today my urologist recommended me to a kidney doctor should I be worried? What is wrong with me exactly? What are some possibilities?

Hi. I am a 17 year old female who recentely cleared up a uti. I went to the doctor and I was told that I had protein in my urine. They took four viles of blood and I will get results on wed. I am scared to death that I have something wrong with me- seriously wrong. I have had uti's before but I have always had a decent diet and been fairly active. I have also always maintained a regular weight. I am five foot five and 135 pounds. I hope that somebody can tell me what might be wrong.

I just got the results of test and was told that I had protein in my urine. I am not going to do a 24 hour urine collection. I am worried sick as my sister passed away from renal failure. I am 61 years old with type 2 diabetes that I control with diet.

hi to all, protein in the urine is not normal. i am 35 yrs old and it was traced 5 yrs ago that i have protein in my urine, which lead to kidney infection and now kidney disease. i have hypertension as well and my kidney nephrologist said that i need a kidney transplant in 2-3 yrs from now..
