Is a Weakly Positive Urine Protein Test Serious?

1. If weakly positive urine protein is caused by physiological factors, it is generally not serious. If it is caused by pathological factors such as glomerulonephritis or diabetic nephropathy, it is usually serious.

2. Weakly positive urine protein is a result of a routine urine test, indicating the presence of protein in the urine. Vigorous physical activity before the test, such as sprinting, playing football, basketball, etc., or mental stress can cause temporary changes in the renal filtration membrane, leading to weakly positive urine protein. In this case, it is caused by physiological factors. If there are no other symptoms of discomfort, special treatment is generally not required. After removing the inducing factors, the urine routine test can return to normal, and it is not serious.

3. If you have kidney diseases such as glomerulonephritis or diabetic nephropathy, they can lead to decreased renal function and abnormal tubular absorption function, resulting in weakly positive urine protein. As these diseases do not disappear over time and do not self-heal, with the continuous progression of the disease, they may cause other adverse effects on the body. Therefore, it is usually serious and should be promptly attended to.

4. If it is caused by glomerulonephritis, medications such as Compound Cyclophosphamide Tablets, Mycophenolate Mofetil Dispersible Tablets, and Dexamethasone Acetate Tablets can be used under the guidance of a doctor. If it is caused by diabetic nephropathy, medications such as Metformin Hydrochloride Extended-Release Tablets, Glibenclamide Tablets, and Acarbose Tablets can be used under the guidance of a doctor.
