Am so worry and scare please can somebody tell me what does that mean? Is to long for me to wait. Tank you and god bless.

You can get a positive urine protien because you vigorously exersize which forces the protiens thru the filtrate.or, because you have hypertension, or because you did not wash yourself well around the labia before you gave the urine sample or for some other variants. Ask for another dip before you spend thousands on a greedy doctor. Hopefully, they checked you for a urinary tract infection. Also, were you on your period when you provided the sample? This can cause some screw ups in your urine sample.

It could be nothing or it could be something serious, ither way it is always best to spend the money and find out. You do not want to hear "If only we would have caught this sooner". Than hearing your fine, now that will be $200.00.
