Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 A friend of mine's daughter (2 years old) had a fever and protein in her urine and the doctor said it's nephrotic syndrome -- a kidney condition that may be inborn. There are web pages that describe it -- usual causes are dehydration, too much salt, perhaps too much protein? I'm not clear on all the details, but it's a kidney ailment.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2001 Report Share Posted January 28, 2001 Hi, , >I remember reading somewhere that bubbles or foam in your urine was >caused by protein in it. Sorry I can't find the resource right now. If your urine is foamy from protein, it indicates a serious medical condition. Normal values for protein in urine is < 150 mg / 24h collection. Much more likely is phospholipids (what I think everyone is referring to as 'phosphates'). These are like detergent - they foam very easily.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2001 Report Share Posted January 28, 2001 I am pretty sure my physician checked for protein in urine when I first told him. I asked about the idea of phosolipids (phosphates) in urine, therefore makes bubbles, but he looked at me blankly. Will have to persue. Thanks for the words of caution. > Hi, , > > >I remember reading somewhere that bubbles or foam in your urine was > >caused by protein in it.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Kim- My daughter just had a 3+ urine protein with a " red " color, actually her entire urinalysis was a mess, bacteria etc.. I was freaked out until I saw the Rheumy. He said that the urine specimens can get contaminated VERY easily and not to worry. Her labs were awesome, so it made him worry less. He didn't even order a repeated urine for her next visit. I don't know how old your child is, but mine is only 2 and getting the urine is a joke in itself. I hope this helps a little. Tara and 2 (poly) protein in urine I am wondering if anyone has any experience with protein in the urine? My daughter had her urine and blood done just for med check and nurse called to say she had protein 2+ in her urine. Blood results weren't back yet. Morning sample, 2 days later, was negative for protein. I am wondering with our kids, if next sample is negative, do you just not worry about it or can this fluctuate and still be a concern? Any ideas? Thank you. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Kim: Protein in the urine needs to be watched. You need to have this rechecked again. I would talk to your daughter's pediatrician about it. My own son has kidney problems. For awhile, it was thought that he had been excreting excess calcium, and that this was causing the blood in his urine. It is true that a lot of kids with arthritis do secrete excess calcium and this irritates the urinary tract and renal system and there can be blood in the urine. However, you don't want to just discount these findings...I really recommend that your daughter's urine be rechecked periodically just to make sure there isn't something else going on. Someone mentioned that urine samples can be contaminated. They CAN be contaminated by bacteria from the skin or from (in infants cases especially when using a u-bag) fecal material. However, protein is NOT a contaminant. I don't want to scare you but you should not just let this go either. Do follow up and I hope that all stays well. and Rob 15 Spondy On Sat, 16 Oct 2004 00:32:42 -0000 " mnkim2003 " <mnkim2003@...> writes: I am wondering if anyone has any experience with protein in the urine?

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Hi Christy. Did your daughter ever go from positive to negative quickly or was it more that she would stay positive for a while and then go to negative? I am not sure if her 2+ is something to be concerned about yet, as a nurse just gave us the number and we didn't speak to a doctor. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hi Kim, I guess I never thought about that. She has her urinalysis done every 8 weeks along with her blood work when she has her Remicade infusion. There seems to be long periods when it is fine, then positive out of the blue. We haven't been able so far to associate pain with high protein except once, when she passed a documented stone. Christy (Abbie, 15 systemic) Re: protein in urine > > > Hi Christy.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 I had that problem for a while when I was younger, about 10-13yrs old. My arthritis was very active at the time.. And the biggest concern was, and will always be, kidney function. If it's severe enough, and chronic, there is always the possibility of biopsies... Etc. I wish you and Hunter all the best, Fischer (JRA for 27 yrs.) DPA Architects, Inc. pfischer@... Protein in Urine Hunter has had protein in her urine for a while now - today at her Rheumy's they seemed concerned - retested and were told that depending on the results we might need to do further testing. Has any other systemics had this issue before? Thanks Sandi, Ken, Hunter (7 Systemic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Some kids with JRA have some kidney issues. However, recurrent protein in the urine is something that needs to be checked out by a competent pediatric nephrologist. My son has kidney issues. If you would like to discuss further, feel free to contact me off list. and Rob 16 Spondy On Tue, 20 Dec 2005 17:57:54 EST deerhuntert6@... writes: Hunter has had protein in her urine for a while now - today at her Rheumy's they seemed concerned - retested and were told that depending on the results we might need to do further testing.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 If muscle is being broken down with weight loss, is protein spilled in the urine?- just as a side effect of increased metabolsim/catanolism- too few calories, etc? Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile protein in urine Any thoughts on why a pt s/p bypass 2 months who consumes ~70-80 grams protein a day would be having protein in her urine?
