Question to UTI/cystitis sufferers re urine testing and protein

1 reply

I've posted on here a few times about my issues with UTIs and/or UTI symptoms.

Been having frequent urination for about 5 days now (quite often this is the ONLY symptom I get with a UTI. It is also something which flares up when there's no UTI too). Anyway, I keep the urine test strips at home to save me traipsing to the GP each time I get 'the feeling'.

I tested last Thurs and showed a trace of protein. This was the case again yesterday and today. NO nitrites or leukocytes or blood.

Is it possible to have a UTI which only shows up as protein on a test strip? I've been ill with some sort of virus over the weekend - achey limbs, sore throat, headache - so not sure if that would skew test results?

Any thoughts gratefully received
