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.

The presence of protein in the urine, known as proteinuria, is an important indication of kidney disease.
