This test is most often performed when kidney disease is suspected. It may be used as a screening test.\n\nNormally, protein is not found in urine when a routine dipstick test is performed. This is because the kidney is supposed to keep large molecules, such as protein, in the blood and only filter out smaller impurities. Even if small amounts of protein do get through, they are normally re-absorbed by the body and used as a source of energy.\n\nSome proteins will appear in the urine if the levels of protein in blood become high, even when the kidney is functioning properly.\n\nIf the kidney is diseased, protein will appear in the urine -- even if the blood levels are normalNormal Values:\n\n\nFor a spot check by dipstick: the normal values are approximately 0 to 8 mg/dl. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories.\nFor a 24-hour test: the normal value is less than 150mg per 24 hours.\nNote: mg/dl = milligrams per deciliter\n\nWhat abnormal results mean:\nAbnormal results may mean an increase in urine protein, and this may indicate: \n\nAmyloidosis\nBacterial pyelonephritis\nBladder tumor\nCongestive heart failure (inadequately perfusing the kidneys)\nDiabetic nephropathy\nGlomerulonephritis\nGoodpasture's syndrome\nHeavy metal poisoning\nLupus erythematosus\nMalignant hypertension\nMultiple myeloma\nNephrotic syndrome\nNephrotoxic drug therapy\nPolycystic kidney disease\nPreeclampsia\nAdditional conditions under which the test may be performed: \nAcute nephritic syndrome\nComplicated UTI (pyelonephritis)\nEclampsia\nHemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS)\nInterstitial nephritis\nMedullary cystic disease\nMembranoproliferative GN I\nMembranoproliferative GN II\nMembranous nephropathy\nNecrotizing vasculitis\nPost-streptococcal GN\nRapidly progressive (crescentic) glomerulonephritis\nReflux nephropathy\nRenal vein thrombosis\nRocky mountain spotted fever

I'll temper this,yes. But I often don't eat a balanced diet. Most multi-vitamins are water soluble. It is said that America has the richest urine in the world. In other words, if not needed, it passes on through. You could write a Doctoral Thesis on this you know !

Use a product called Aquaban. As a woman you are familiar  with it, it releives the "monthy bloat" triple the dosage and drink more water that you can tolerate!!! gallons. As far as the weed eat chocolate enough to malke you feel then eat more. That way it will pull out of your blood stream and convert it fat. The night before I had a test I smoked rocks, snorted and burned fat ones. My urine sample was so clean the y made me submit 3 samples!!\n\nMOST INPORTANT DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO COLLECT THE FIRST OR SECOND URINE SANPLES OF THE DAY, that will likely lead to a failure.

Whatever came out of your butt had nothing to do with your reproductive eggs. Honey, your eggs are microscopic and you can't see them. I think you must have something really wrong and need to go see your doctor right away. You shouldn't be passing ANYTHING like what you described.

I would assume that you are also taking a decent protein powder, since you are taking the BSN products which are also very good. The protein powder usually comes with the glutamine acid in it so it sound like you might be buying something you dont need.

You are in Ketosis, burning fat.  It's actually the stage you want to be in if you are on a high protein diet.   \n\nBeano might help. Get it at the drug store.

Sounds like a rush of a hormone? Which one not sure, I would see a doctor to get blood work done. You could be anemic? They might be able to help you with a pill? Or sometimes surgery? This is not normal after a 5 year break. Did you stop a medication suddenly? Been sick, in an accident? Sudden change in your life? the doctor will ask all those questions then order blood and urine test!

Firstly, I am sorry that your doctor let you down. \nNow,I agree with the lab tech above, they are not the ones who decide what tests get done. Although,I will say as a nurse, if a culture comes back positive for bacteria noted; the lab, at the hospital in the town I work in, keeps the specimen for 24 hours. And if for some reason I forgot to check run a C&S if positive, they will usually call the MD's nurse or myself and varify order to run. Of course, even if the nurse and lab have all the information for the doctor, he can still refuse to change what antibiotic therapy(ABT) you are on. \nAs for quinolones ie cipro, levaquin, tequin etc; this group is usually a good first choice for urinary tract infections, but because of the over use of this group of ABT, bacterial resistant has increased to it. My only other thought here is the prostatitis, which simply put is the inflammation of the prostate. This can be from various causes, one of which is bacterial infection. Was it confirmed in the beginning that the prostatitis was caused by bacteria, and was an anti-inflammatory medication; ibuprofen, aspirin,etc; started?\nBasicly, the doctor did not follow the rule us nurses have to. We are hammer to think about what any prudent nurse would do in any given situation. Any prudent MD would have had the C&S run again after UA came back positive. And even if pt had not had foley cath. MD should have had another Urinalysis run in two weeks because most ABT regimes are not longer than this and high risk of resistence development.

yeah, too much protein in the blood is a major cause of kidney failure, but i think diabetics have kidney problems more due to poor circulation (i might be wrong on that though)

Protein contains nitrogen. When protein is broken down and digested, it creates ammonia from the nitrogen. Ammonia is toxic, so the body must get rid of it quickly. The kidneys convert the toxic ammonia into the less toxic urea, which then gets converted to urine.\n\nHigh protein just means the kidneys have to work harder. Many dieticians assume that working the kidneys harder could cause kidney disease. However, there have been no published studies which have shown high protein diets lead to kidney failure, even in competitive bodybuilders. You may want to also keep in mind that about 50% of protein ingested gets burned up as energy, so at some point with increased protein your $40 bottle of whey protein is doing nothing more than a couple of slices of bread.\n\nJohn

You need a urine test at the doctors - go now

No, not your useful protein.  Just make sure you're eating right and drinking lots of water at the same time.
