what are the Reasons for traces of protein found in urine sample?

Answer 1

2-8mg/dL is a normal range for urine protein and I would consider these amounts to be trace. Larger amounts, greater than 8mg/dL, might indicate a disorder. But even eating protein foods or exercising will increase urine protein. If your urine protein was trace, you have nothing to be concerned about. It was probably that hamburger you had the day before.

Answer 2

Traces of protein in the urine is generally a sign of a kidney problem, or perhaps a urinary tract infection. Speak to your doctor.

Answer 3

Hi there, your question is the first I'm answering.

There is an excess of proteins in the body.
The following was obtained from wikipeia:

Deamination is the removal of an amine group from a molecule.

In the human body, deamination takes place in the liver. It is the process by which amino acids are broken down. The amino group is removed from the amino acid and converted to ammonia. The rest of the amino acid is made up of mostly carbon and hydrogen, and is recycled or oxidized for energy. Ammonia is toxic to the human system, and enzymes convert it to urea or uric acid by addition of carbon dioxide molecules in Urea Cycle. Urea and uric acid can safely diffuse into the blood and then be excreted in urine.


Hope this is quite the answer you are looking for.

Answer 4

it's better to have no protein or albumin in urine but it's usual if it is within normal limit after measuring the total protein amount in ppm in 24 hour's total urine collection,and if you have no other pain,burning in urinery tract..etc. problems,generally excreation of higher protein in urine indicates the possibility of kidney function problems or urinery tract infections,but have to be confirmed with other essential clicnical evidence and pathological tests,ultra-sound scan of lower-abdomen,x-rays,CT-scans..etc.

Answer 5

u might have kidney problem. protein is not supposedly can be found in normal urine. remember that presence of granular casts, rbc, bacteria, glucose, albumin and ketone bodies in urine is abnormal. ask ur doc for clarification.

Answer 6

if you eat a diet high in protein or take a protein supplement this could be why.

If you don't do either of these you could have a medical problem with some of your internal organs so hopefully it is the above mentioned.

Answer 7

Usually an infection or chronic inflammation in the urinary tract. Or a kidney disease.
