It can mean many things such as:
* Amyloidosis
* Bacterial pyelonephritis
* Bladder tumor
* Congestive heart failure (inadequately perfusing the kidneys)
* Diabetic nephropathy
* Glomerulonephritis
* Goodpasture's syndrome
* Heavy metal poisoning
* Lupus erythematosus
* Malignant hypertension
* Multiple myeloma
* Nephrotic syndrome
* Nephrotoxic drug therapy
* Polycystic kidney disease
* Preeclampsia
It depends on the level. But a series of test will hopefully confirm the problem.

Firstly, your gynecologist should have answered that question already. If that didn't happen, someone just "fell of the turnip truck". Proteinuria (detectable protein in the urine) has a wide range of causes that HAVE TO BE explored. Rather than fishing around the Internet for a self diagnosed answer, you MUST force your gynecologist to either do a full work up or refer you to another physician who can and will. Proteinuria can be cause by something as mild as a bit of blood in the vaginal area to infection to something a bit more serious. Share the journey with a competant physician.
