Title: Does anyone know have issues related to a high level of protein in urine?

Hi ladies , I have been on hormones such as estrace and spirlatone for many years and I am wondering if anyone is tested to have high protein level in their urine ? My recent blood test showed I have a high level of protein in my urine .

This is a question for your doctor but if it is in your urine, it could indicate you are at risk of developing kidney stones. It is something that exist in the normal population so HRT may not be responsible for causing it. If it's high enough, there are medications to help control it but diet may be your primary tool.
