Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Proteinuria (high protein in urine) has to be evaluated and may be due to nephrotic syndrome. It is not common in this age group and thus has to be evaluated. A kidney biopsy may be required to find out the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
