Is Protein In Urine Normal During Menstruation?
Hello, I have lupus and recently had a series of customary lab test including a urinalysis. At the time of collection I was menstruating. My Rhuematologist contacted me and told me that I had some protein in my urine. He would like me to take the test again in a couple of weeks. He said this can happen when a woman is on her cycle. I just didn t want to worry or stress over this unnecessarily. I should add all my other lab test were normal and if no concern. Is my Rhuematologist correct about menstration and protein in urine?

Dear Madam,
Your rheumatologist is right in saying that protein can be present in urine during menstruation thus the sample needs to be repeated .
