Dr. says i have protein in my urine does that mean i have a stone or cancer.

Proteinuria describes a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein. Proteins are the building blocks for all body parts, including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins in your blood also perform a number of important functions. They protect you from infection, help your blood clot, and keep the right amount of fluid circulating throughout your body.

As blood passes through healthy kidneys, they filter the waste products out and leave in the things the body needs, like proteins. Most proteins are too big to pass through the kidneys' filters into the urine unless the kidneys are damaged. The main protein that is most likely to appear in urine is albumin. Proteins from the blood can escape into the urine when the filters of the kidney, called glomeruli, are damaged. Sometimes the term albuminuria is used when a urine test detects albumin specifically. Albumin's function in the body includes retention of fluid in the blood. It acts like a sponge, soaking up fluid from body tissues.

Inflammation in the glomeruli is called '''glomerulonephritis, or simply nephritis. Many diseases can cause this inflammation, which leads to proteinuria. Additional processes that can damage the glomeruli and cause proteinuria include Diabetes, hypertension, and other forms of kidney diseases.'''

Protein in the urine is also called proteinuria. This is often discovered on a blood test when a patient desires to donate blood or plasma or has lab work done.

That can be sign of a bladder infection, or other problem with the urinary tract (like the kidneys). It is the kind of symptom that should be reported to a medical professional to find out what is causing the abnormal laboratory results.
