What Causes Trace Of Protein In Urine?

I went for a physical check up around 2pm 2 days ago and I was informed that I had a minute trace of protein in my Urine. I did not eat anything or drink any water that day before going for the test and I m presently on a medication of paludrine (proguanil hydrochloride). I just want to know what could be the cause and if it is something to worry about

Hello,

There is no evidence that proguanil hydrochloride can cause protein in the urine.
I can advise you to do a kidney ultrasound to check for infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
