at home urine test

Sorry if I posted this under the wrong topic,nothing else seemed to fit for my question.Anyway this morning I did a at home 10 panel urine test and it showed  a trace of protein in my urine.My ph. was  around 6.5 and everything else was negative or "normal".What I have found so far online is that stress can cause protein in the urine if there is no disease like kidney problems or diebetes,which I don't think I have.So is protein in the normal okay for me?

Thank you.How kind of you to reply!I did another test later in the day and it was "negative" and has been everytime.One other question,can bladders come in different sizes depending on how big or small a grown person is or is it like a one size fits all type of deal?I'm a pretty small(and short)23 year old female so would my bladder be the same size as someone who is twice my size?
Thank you!

Hi,
Traces of proteins can appear in urine normally. However, if the kidney functions are normal, blood pressure is normal, there’s no swelling of feet/face, the total protein excretion which can be assessed by 24 hr urine is < 1g/day, then there isn’t much to worry. It is known as transient proteinuria and should disappear with time.
I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind Regards.
