protein in urine

I have high blood pressure and recent 24hr urine protein result was 865 mg/24hr. What might this mean?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The normal value for 24 hr urine protein is less than 80 milligrams per day. So, your test shows increased excretion of protein. The causes for proteinuria are infections of the kidney/bladder, disorders of the kidney/bladder, diabetes mellitus, certain blood disorders, strenuous exercise and certain medications. Further blood tests, X rays, ultrasonography, CT scan and sometimes cystoscopy may be needed to detect the cause for proteinuria.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
