What Does Protein +3 In Urine Indicates When Having Hypertension, High BP?
hi Doctor My name is Coehleen, just turned 50. I suffer with hypertension and high bp. On Monday at the clinic they did a urine test and found protein +3 in my urine. They drew samples of blood and sent it away. I have to wait 2 weeks for the result. Please can you explain to me what it could mean. Not knowing is a killer. Thank you soo much. Coehleen

Welcome to HCM
It is an indication of kidney damage / could be an incidental issue or the result of long standing blood pressure.
More investigations like blood test for kidney function / ultrasound are needed for further evaluation
Consult a Nephrologist
