Yes large amounts are bad. It signifies that your kidneys are not functioning well.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a Multiple Myeloma Panel By Flow Cytometery Test or Take a BILIRUBIN CONJUGATED (DIRECT) - SERUM Test

I already tested uric acid and serum creatinine. My report was normal. What is the reason for sometimes having foamy or bubbly urine and sometimes pain in the left upper back and right side? Is it serious?

Does high protein in urine always mean kidney disease?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi Doctor, I am 29 weeks pregnant. Yesterday I did my regular routine test and today I got the report. In my report it shows protein trace and bacteria present but I have no high blood pressure, no weight gain, and no edema.
