pepperluv2,


This means that you have protein in your urine. Protein in the urine, or proteinuria can be caused by high blood pressure, kidney disease, lupus, diabetic neuropathy, glomerulonephritis, or nephrotic syndrome. Your doctor should do futher testing to determine what the cause might be, so treatment can begin. You can read more about it here http://www.kidney.org.uk/Medical-Info/kidney-disease/proturia.html
