@contentandwell Maybe you're spilling protein in your urine? That might explain the urea nitrogen not being higher in the bloodstream. . . I'm just guessing, of course. Besides, how much protein is a lot - more than 35 grams a day?

@kamama94 I haven't been very good about tracking my food on myfitnesspal recently, I am hoping to get back to it today because I want to lose 10 pounds, but I have my protein set at 60 and I am generally there or slightly over.
You sound very much more knowledgeable about these tests than I am. Medical jargon tends to make me glaze over, it's all Latin to me, and Latin was never my favorite subject in school either.
What causes a person to spill protein into their urine? I actually don't worry about it unless my transplant department calls me with concerns. I figure that's what they are there for.
Jk
