Too much protein in your urine can be indicative of a renal problem!. It depends how much was present!. You will be sent for further investigations if need be!.

Proteins are not normally present in the urine!. The kidneys filter the blood, removing waste and excrete it!.

If the kidneys are damaged, they become less effective at filtering, and detectable amounts of protein are found in the urine!.
