Hello,
There are many medical conditions that can cause proteinuria. Both diabetes and high blood pressure can cause damage to the kidneys, which leads to proteinuria.
Other types of kidney disease unrelated to diabetes or high blood pressure can also cause the protein to leak into the urine. The use of medications can also cause proteinuria.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
