can drinking water before urinalysis to check for protein, affect test results?

Hello Dr,

I had a UA done yesterday to check for protein and everything came back negative/normal. I had 16 oz of water to drink before the UA test. I was wondering if that would've caused any false negative as the urine might have been diluted. Please let me know.

I requested this test as I found my urine bubbly/foamy sometimes, like in a specific toilet bowl (office or hospital).. at home it isn't bubbly.. So I requested this test to check for protein.

Thanks for your time and advice.
-PS
