If the cause of the appearance of the protein is precisely established, then during the period of exacerbation of the disease, bed rest must be observed so that the pathology does not become chronic.
This is not to say that an increase in protein in urine is always a consequence of pathology, therefore, one urinalysis should not be limited. And if the doctor has prescribed a treatment regimen, then all recommendations must be strictly observed.
If you follow a protein diet, then it should not last long. In extreme cases, drink more plain water so that the kidneys can cope with excess protein in the body.
Identifying the causes of protein in the urine during treatment with folk remedies is the basis for the effectiveness of all measures. Efficiency is also achieved due to the duration of treatment. No prescription of traditional medicine will help if the therapy was short-lived. In parallel with treatment, the level of protein in urine should be monitored.
