I was wondering if anyone could help me understand why my 5 1/2 yr old daughter keeps coming up with a reading of 30 for her protein count? Her doctor said it isn't anything to worry about at this time.
So far it hasn't gone over 30. But why doesn't it read normal? And how long until we shoul be concerned?
30 what? What measurement are you referring to?? Grams, mgs or what? Is this protein in her urine? Did they do a 24 hour urine? Need more info in order to attempt to answer your question.
They have not done a 24hr to date. They said that would be the next step. 30gram? Yes, the protein is in her urine. I need to check, I'm not sure. Thanks for your help.

MY SON HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM- THEY DID A 24 HR URINALYSIS TWICE- THE SECOND TIME THEY CHECK TO SEE IF IT IS IN THE FIRST MORNING URINE. WHICH IT WAS. SO WE ARE GOING IN THE MORNING FOR AN ULTRASOUND. I WOULD INSIST YOUR DOCTOR START THE 24 HR COLL.WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT IS EVEN THOUGH IT IS A MINIMAL AMOUNT- NO PROTEIN SHOULD BE IN HER URINE! There has to be a reason her kidneys are dumping it . Over a period of time your kidneys can be damaged. sharon
i had a 24 hour urine done and it came back "urine protein 264 mg/l and protein output 330mg/day dose any bady know what these mean they have set me up with a kidney dr. now but can't get into see him for 2 mos. thanks gabby
