It is.  The reason we worry about proteinuria is because proteins are quite large molecules and finding them in urine shows that the kidneys are not doing their job of filtering properly.

What is proteinuria?

Proteinuria is a word made from two other words: Protein + urine. So proteinuria means there is protein in the urine! The most common cause of mild to moderate proteinuria is just from being up on your feet and active all day. This can be confirmed by rechecking it on a first morning sample (first thing after getting up in the morning). If the morning sample is normal then nothing further needs to be done. If the proteinuria is severe, persists in the morning, or is accompanied by other lab or physical abnormalities then it should be evaluated.

Can the symptoms of brain cancer be mistakenly diagnosed as migraine?

Yes, there can be misdiagnoses in almost any condition. A stomach ache can actually be the beginning of an ulcer. Back pain can actually be from gall bladder disease. Etc Etc. However, one of the first lessons in medical school and nursing school is, never assume a symptom is a catastrophic (terrible) condition when the symptom is just a symptom of a common problem. Most often, headache in an otherwise healthy person who has no other neurological signs or symptoms of abnormality likely means they either have tension headache syndrome or migraine headache syndrome. When a patient believes a common symptom means a terrible disease, the person may be a hypochondriac.
