Answers:
ask doc first cos reading medical encyclopedia will drive you mad. Take another test because sometimes it may happen. Protein means kidney don't clear enough your blood. But at the same time it could mean that you had some very spicy food the day before or something that kind of stuff. Don't panic any way and get a better picture with your doc

PROTEIN in URINE in HEALTHY males is caused by not going to school much, therefore not learning how to spell correctly.

I had protein in my urine several times and I was told it was because I was very athletic and stomped around a lot running and on the tennis court. Do you stomp around when you walk, are you overweight and step heavy. Check with your doctor though.
Cranberry juice is great for the kidneys and
bladder.

Protein in your urine is very serious. Your doctor will ask you to do a 24 or 48 hour urine collection on a regular basis. I'm not 100% sure but it might be do to your liver. Your doctor will prescribe medication and send you for specific tests to determine what is causing this. Do worry. Now that they know, they can fix this.

ask tha doc

1. Repeat the dipstick test (was it a trace/+/++/++++)?
2. Get yourself checked for STD's
3. It is nothing to do with diabetes (that's sugar - glycosuria)
4. A 1 off protein will not lead your doctor to agressively investigate you (24/48 urine collections- what are you thinking?!)
5. Don't go on random internet health sites - they will unduly worry you as most are put together by non regulated allied medical professionals i.e NOT Doctors who have to abide by a code of practice and work according to proven research and evidence based practice.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR LIVER

Why didnt you ask the doctor?

look up kidney function. when you pee you probably see bubbles, right? that's a sign of a lot of protein. instead of it being passed along in your body in your bloodstream, the kidneys flush them out.
