Dark reddish brown cola-colored urine means Myoglobinuria (myoglobin in the urine) Beer-brown-colored urine means indicative of bilirubin Dark red like port wine-colored urine means porphyrins (iron pigment). Very turbid urine means pyuria (Abnormal numbers of white blood cells in the urine) Orange Urine means the patient consume a lot of beta-carotene. Black to Dark brown urine means Alkaptonuria (melanin or homogentisic acid in the urine) Huge amount of urine means polyuria and may have type I/II diabetes High bilirubin levels in urine means hepatitis/jaundice High urobilinogen level in urine means excessive destruction of Red blood cells or patient have infectious mononucleosis. Low / No Urobilinogen and High Bilirubin in urine with high levels of bilirubin in the blood means Obstruction of Bile ducts/Obstructive jaundice Urine positive for Ketones means diabetic ketoacidosis, the patient is diabetic or having a crash diet. High glucose level in urine means lack of control of the diabetes High glucose level and normal blood sugar level means lowered renal threshold. Marked High Protein level in the urine means Nephrotic syndrome, Renal vein thrombosis, Amyloid disease, Lupus erythematosus. (4 gms/day) High protein level and heated at 100 C becomes normal/low protein level means multiple myeloma/macroglobulinemia. There are more informations if you bought the urinalysis book.

What does it mean if you have a high level of Protein in your Urine?
In the absence of other symptoms I can only give a very general answer to this question.The kidneys' primary function is to maintain the fluid balance in the body and to excrete unwanted soluble chemicals. While doing this, the kidneys must conserve other important constituents circulating in the bloodstream.Although healthy people do pass small amounts of protein in the urine normally, above a certain level suggests that there may be damage to the filter mechanism (the glomeruli) or inflammation.A second source of protein in urine is blood that may come from any part of the kidney or urinary pathway.High levels of protein in the urine may therefore be due to diseases of the kidney such as glomerulonephritis. It may also be due to general illnesses that also affect the kidney as in high blood pressure or heart failure.Infections of the renal pathway such as cystitis or pyelonephritis may cause a high level of protein in the urine.This finding is an important part of investigations for several conditions and is extremely important when considered with other symptoms that together indicate the cause.
