Q: Urine test positive for protein

I test myself regularly using dip sticks. I have Crohns disease and recently broke my femur (fixed with an 36cm/14" rod).

Here's the question: A ve for protein is an inflammation marker. Obviously, it might relate to the Crohns, but would inflammation anywhere in the body produce a ve? I'm working my leg hard in physio, and it has swollen somewhat. Might this show in urine?
