Based on your description, elevated urinary protein levels suggest the presence of kidney disease. It is recommended that you consult a nephrologist at a hospital for further evaluation, including tests of renal function, renal color Doppler ultrasound, and 24-hour urinary protein quantification. A comprehensive treatment plan should be formulated according to the specific findings. Additionally, your diet should be as light and bland as possible—avoiding greasy and spicy foods—to prevent additional strain on the kidneys.
