Urine test result help?

[fanman888]

I recently got my urine test done with the military and they sent me a letter asking for a family doctor to re-interpret the results and/or do a new urine test. On the info sheet, 3 lines were highlighted and the results were given beside then:
Protein - 1+
Ketones - TRACE
Bilirubin - 2+

I'm stressing a bit because I did some research online and the articles said that it might be a kidney problem. With me trying to get into the Air Force I need to be physically and mentally healthy.

Can someone tell me what my results mean or what they might point to?

Thanks in advance,
Jason

Thanks,
I went to my family doctor, he said it might be due to an urinary infection (hope so) so I'm taking some Apo-Sulfatrim.

Thanks for your response.

Cheers

Hi,
The presence of proteins & bilirubin in urine can happen in kidney as well as liver disease. Hence, you need further evaluation of the same. You need detailed biochemical evaluation of the kidney & liver functions for the same. Before, that it makes sense to get the urine examined once again from another lab. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
