If your blood pressure is high and you have protein in your urine it's because your kidneys are not functioning properly to filter the protein out. Protein in your urine without high blood pressure is usually due to diet, dehydration, or something preexisting.

They determine pre eclampsia if your blood pressure is elevated and you have protein in your urine. I'm not sure on the specifics but just cause your blood pressure is high doesn't mean you have it, and if you have protein and your pressure is fine that doesn't mean you have it.

I dint know what causes it but I know it's bad news. It's a sign of pre eclampsia. Which is super bad they make you deliver early if you have it.
