What does urine protein 0.3(1+) mean?

Urinary protein 0.3mg/day (1+) means that the protein content in the urine is higher than normal.

Urinary protein is one of the test items in urine routine. An increase in this indicator is a common manifestation of kidney disease, because when kidney function is impaired, the filtration capacity of protein will decrease, so the above situation will occur. In addition, the increase in urinary protein may also be caused by other reasons, such as diabetes, hypertension, drug side effects, etc.

Patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly and receive professional treatment to prevent symptoms from getting worse. In addition, good living habits, such as healthy eating, proper exercise, etc., should be maintained to help reduce urinary protein levels.
