Lumbar disc herniation with sciatica may be associated with increased CSF total protein. CSF protein concentration is slightly higher in males with depressive disorders than in women with similar diagnoses. CSF protein is within normal limits in 66% of patients with multiple sclerosis.
Increased urine protein levels are a non-specific finding seen with a wide variety of medical conditions, ranging from totally harmless to potentially life-threatening. Common causes for proteinuria include kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, drugs, infections and tumors such as multiple myeloma. Increased amounts of protein in the urine are never considered normal. However, mild proteinuria doesn't always indicate a serious disorder. Additional testing and evaluation by your health-care provider is necessary to make this determination.
