Molasses juice is not synonymous with urinary protein. Uterine protein warns of kidney damage, need to be checked promptly to protect health.

different types of urine juice and protein in urine

According to Dr. Jingyin Yan, a kidney doctor and Associate Professor at Baylor University of Medicine (USA), many people confuse urine and urinary protein (a condition of protein in urine): "Urinary water does not mean protein in urine, they are two different problems," Dr. Yan explained.

If there is protein in the urine, the usual sign is foaming or foaming urine, not a lump. Urinary protein is often associated with diabetes or kidney disease, when the kidneys are damaged and cannot fully filter out the protein from the body.

In some cases, the protein in urine can appear temporarily due to heavy exercise, dehydration, fever, or pregnancy. But if this condition persists, you should see a doctor because it can be a sign of kidney disease.

Is eating a lot of protein harmful to the kidneys?

For healthy people with normal kidney function, eating a lot of protein is often not harmful. In fact, people who exercise or the elderly may need more protein to maintain muscle and health.

According to Yasi Ansari, a nutritionist and representative of the Institute of Nutrition and Dietetics of the US, eating over 2 grams of protein/kg per day can be considered a high level. However, for most adults, the recommended dosage is about 0.8 grams/kg/day.

You can eat a little more protein if your body needs it, as long as you drink enough water - at least 2 liters a day, Ansari shared.

In addition, protein quality is no less important than quantity. A diet rich in plant and seafood protein can help reduce the risk of chronic kidney disease, compared to protein from red meat or processed meat.

What is a sign of a problem with cloudy urine?

According to Dr. Mary Garthwaite - President of the National Urinary Treatment Fund, occasional cloudy urine is not a concern. It can be caused by dehydration, eating certain foods, or temporary changes in the body.

However, if the bowel urine lasts for a few days, or is accompanied by symptoms such as pain when urinating, strange smell of urine, frequent urination, or swelling in the legs, you should see a doctor for a check-up. A simple urine test will help determine the exact cause.

If you are on a diet rich in protein and see cloudy urine, it is uncertain whether it is protein. It is important to drink enough water, supplement fiber, and monitor for other unusual signs.

Protein is not harmful to people with healthy kidneys, but if you have kidney disease or are worried about your health, consult your doctor or nutritionist for appropriate advice.
