What to do about spilling protein in my urine?

Question

I went to the doctor today for a U/A for a possible kidney infection but it was negative. He did tell me he was concerned because I was spilling protein in my urine. I had a x ray today too to rule out kidney stones. He told me to come back Friday and if I am still spilling protein I will have to do a 24 hour catch. 

I wasnt to worried about the protein because a possibility of kidney stones. Now after reading what spilling protein means I am nervous.

My blood pressure was up in the office too which is a symptom of kidney disease.

My question is what can I do to stop spilling protein in my urine? Is there something I can drink or something I can do to stop it?

I am only 30 I shouldn't be having these problems right?

No, you shouldn't be having this problem; but the fact is that you for some reason are. The important thing is to get the tests done to figure out why your kidneys are having trouble, as there can be many causes. Infection, diabetes, obesity, chronic high blood pressure, some analgesics (like acetaminophen),  and even amyloidosis, and even cancer can all be the cause; and as you may guess these range from very serious to very treatable. Talk to your doctor; he/she should allay some of your fears (it is probably something somewhat common as opposed to a rare disease, and is probably treatable). In the end, only he/she and YOU can help you. 

Good luck and get better soon
