Question
Parents have noticed protein in their daughter’s urine, which was once normal after treatment but reappeared as ++ after discontinuing medication.
Answer
Urine serves as a “mirror” for inspecting kidney conditions. Urinalysis can reflect the functional status of the kidneys. In healthy adults, urine protein (occult blood) should typically be negative. If the test shows a positive urine protein, indicated by ++ or +++ levels, it suggests that the kidneys may have developed abnormalities.
