If you have been in training, swimming or something, very hard it may be normal.

Anytime you have a showing of protein on a "dipstick" test, you should have a follow-up/further testing.(i.e. repeat the "dipstick" test, and maybe then follow-up with a 24hours urnie test.)
Protein in the urine could mean you have a number of things to be concerned about..i.e.polycystic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy.
Sometimes stress,strenuous exercise can cause protein to show up in the urine.
Surely, you physician will re-test/follow-up, and can certainly explain things better to you, regarding your test results.
Make sure you have a follow-up with your physician.
Good Luck :)

yeah, you should have trace to no protein in your urine. It generally means you have kidney issues, but because your an adolescent it could be different. Sorry, I'm not a pediatric nurse so I don't remember much about lab differences.

If it were me I would be concerned. You need furthure testing.
