Protein in Urine
Protein in urine, medically known as proteinuria, can indicate kidney disease or other health conditions. Normally, a minimal amount is present. Elevated levels of protein in urine suggest the kidneys are not properly filtering waste. Persistent proteinuria warrants further investigation by a healthcare professional for underlying causes.
