Normally, protein is not found in urine. This is because the kidney is supposed to keep large molecules, like protein, in the blood and only filter out smaller impurities. Even if small amounts of protein do get through, they are normally reabsorbed by the body and used as a source of energy.
Some proteins will appear in the urine if the levels of protein in blood become high, even when the kidney is functioning properly.
If the kidney is diseased, protein will appear in the urine even if blood levels are normal.
There should only be trace amounts of urine in your protein. 0 to 8 mg/mL is the normal amount for a random sample and less than 150 mg per 24 hours. If you have more than that it could be indicative of a medical problem and you should see your doctor. My doctor told me that more than the normal amount of protein is found in my urine sample. What is your advice?
I believe that carbohydrates and proteins which are large molecules can not readily pass through the glomerulus (filtering part of nephron) and become part of urine. Glucose, amino acids, water, urea which are comparatively small can. Glucose, amino acids and water are normally reabsorbed by the kidneys.
there are three layers that separate fluid in glomerular capillaries from fluid in bowman's capsule that is the endothelial cell,basement membrane and podocytes cell. besides that, there is a layer of polyanionic
glycoproteins that covers the surface of the components of the filtration barrier repels large
anions (i.e. proteins with a net negative charge like albumin). The layer of polyanionic glycoprotein is negatively charged, so it propel the protein albumin which is also negatively charged
im not even sure what you're asking. "protein" shouldn't be in urine, and although not necessarily pathologic, it may warrant further testing.
Proteins are not found in the urine because the particles are too big to be filtered.
Blood passes through the kidneys, and the kidneys filter waste products out of the blood to be passed into urine. A healthy kidney will block proteins from passing through into urine, & so the proteins will continue to circulate back into blood after reaching the kidneys.
Kidneys filter out the protein.
Prescence of protein means that filters are not working and give an indication for a diseased kidney.

Which substance would NOT be expected in urine normally?
proteins
How can proteins be detected in urine?
How can proteins be detected in urine
What is an example of a proteinfree body substance?
Urine is an example of a protein-free body substance. Under normal conditions, urine should not contain proteins.
Which of the following substances is normally NOT found in urine?
If you are talking about three substances that are normally found in blood but not in urine, they are leukocytes, erythrocytes and glucose.
How much percentage of protein is present in urine?
Normally, less than 1% of urine consists of proteins. Elevated levels of proteins in urine may indicate underlying health conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure.
Why is it that millon's test cannot be used to detect the presence of protein in the urine?
Millon's test is not suitable for detecting proteins in urine because it is specifically designed to detect phenolic compounds, not proteins. Proteins in the urine are typically detected using tests like the dipstick test or the sulfosalicylic acid precipitation test, which are more specific for proteins.
Why is urine an acid but blood is a base if they are both bodily fluids?
Blood contains RBC which further contain haemoglobin a comlex of proteins with iron due to presence of lone pair of electron on nitrogen of proteins blood is basic in nature having pH value 7.3 the urine after passing from kidney does not contain proteins but contains uric acid so it is acidic having pH value 6.6.
Which one of the following substances in normally found in urine A blood proteins B red blood cells C hemoglobin D white blood cells E creatinine?
Creatinine is normally found in urine. Blood proteins, red blood cells, and hemoglobin are all abnormal findings. White blood cells would indicate an infection.
Which one of the following substances is normally found in urine white blood cells blood proteins creatinine hemoglobin red blood cells?
hemoglobin
Why urine doesn't normally contain glucose?
Glucose is too valuable to be lost in the urine, so it is selectively reabsorbed by active transport in the nephrons. There should be no glucose whatsoever in urine. Any trace of it is a possible sign of diabetes.
What should not be in urine?
Anything other then urine.
Do glow sticks contain urine?
No, but glowsticks contain phosphorus(an element), that is made from urine.
