Protein within the urine can mean a great deal of different things, from kidney problems to a contaminated specimen. The blood work may provide some more clues as to whether or not it's significant.
Sickle cell disease is a genetic (inherited) condition where you engineer abnormal hemoglobin, which is the molecule within red blood cells that carry oxygen. People with sickle cell disease own red blood cells that can become misshapen and clog up small blood vessel, leading to symptoms pf backache, and other problems.

There are also other conditions like sickle cell, but not as serious. Your blood work will confer your doctor more answers.
When you go spinal column for your followup appointment ASK QUESTIONS! You need to know what is going on next to your body, and how to deal next to whatever it is.
Good luck!
the holes that allow filtrate to move from the blood stream into the urine aren't supposed to be big ample to allow large particle such as protiens to filter out of the blood and into the urine. so, it is possible that you might have some sort of kidney problem or degenerative ailment.
