Raised protein level in urine

User

This week I attended a “well man” clinic and a few days later I got a phone call stating “ nothing to worry about “ ( the same phrase they used a year ago for another PSA test 🤔 ) however I appear to have an elevated protein level in my urine.


I then broke my number one rule again and went on the internet and one of the signs of elevated protein is bubbly urine ( it’s frothy man, name that discontinued drink😂). I first noticed this a couple of months ago just after my prostate procedure and I now wonder if it is related to my LDR brachytherapy or possibly Tamsulosin.


Has anyone else experienced an increased protein level?

Are you dehydrated - it is a common causes of protein in urine?

I also had LDR Brachy. I also have raised protein in my urine. It is most probably coincidence. Just thought I would mention it. John
