Protein and glucose in the urine can indicate a problem with kidney function. Normally, the kidneys prevent these molecules from being excreted in the urine. The presence of protein (proteinuria) can suggest damage to the kidney's filtering units. Glucose in the urine (glucosuria) can indicate that the kidneys are not reabsorbing glucose properly, which might be due to conditions like diabetes affecting kidney function.
