There are over a hundred different types of proteins in the blood and the kidneys are the organ that do the job of proteins keeping them from entering the urine. Most of the protein that does make it into the urine are reabsorbed, chewed up and returned to the blood. As a result, less than 150 mg of protein is normal lost in the urine per day. A higher level of protein loss in the urine is called proteinuria and may mean there is kidney stress or kidney disease.

As I am a renal nurse specialist, I can answer this question. The kidneys does not excrete proteins. Proteins have a very large molecular weight for it to pass through the kidneys thus the protein is reabsorbed by the body. Presence of protein in the urine is diagnosed by doing a dipstick urine. If you have a considerable amount of protein in the urine, this means that you have some sort of kidney insufficiency.
If you are worried, you have to go to a nephrologist who will take blood samples. Most likely doctor will check for your creatinine, urea and potassium levels. They will also calculate your GFR or glomerular filtration rate. The rate in which how much our kidneys excrete urine per minute.
hope that helps.

I think the kidneys are supposed to filter it out and if you find protein in the urine that job has not been done correctly; hence the damage to the kidney...

when the kidney gets damaged, it is not able to denature proteins into amino acids. hence, they get passed through the urine, confirming its failure

Proteins are large molecules, and should be too big to get through a glomerulus. Don't you hate it when your coffee's full of grounds? If you had big holes in your coffee filter, it would be roughly the same.
