i have protein in my kidneys what dose this mean?

Answer 1

It could mean a kidney infection or a sign of kidney disease.

If the doctor just dipped your urine with a paper strip in the surgery and told you about the protein, it will usually be followed up by a lab test on the urine to see what the cause is.
You may also need to have blood tests done.

If it's a kidney infection, the usual treatment is a course of antibiotics and plenty of fluids. If it's not an infection, the tests will help determine the treatment needed.

Answer 4

The protein would not be in your kidneys, but rather your urine. There is a condition called nephrotic syndrome, which is when the kidneys leak protein. Normal urine contains virtually no protein. In nephrotic syndrome the urine contains large amounts of protein. This is more commonly known as proteinuna. The filters on the kidney become faulty and leaky, and protein in the blood leaks out into the urine. You could just be eating too much protein, but this can lead to kidney problems. I suggest that you go back and see your Doctor and talk some more with him about this. Good luck.

Answer 5

Do you mean protein in your urine? The kidneys filter waste products, and this can include protein if there's too much of it in your diet. A high protein diet can cause kidney damage, so you really need to clarify this with your doctor.

Answer 6

I am guessing you mean proteinuria - or protein in your urine. It is probably nothing unless there is blood and white cells too, in which case it could be a urine infection. Do you have any symptoms? (ie pain on weeing, stinging, abdominal cramps?) go to a GP to check
