What the heck- proteinuria in med check up report

Two weeks ago i went for medical check up, then Dr.Hema-someone i knew from my past practical in Hosp. Seberang Jaya she found out that there's proteinuria in my dipstick urine test.
The lab technician wrote nil for all as the next test might be negative as well. But this doc insisted on putting it on the record there stating that i am not that fit but able to work.
I got really upset. As the next urine test and blood tests came out normal and negative for any pathology.
I went again today and the dipstick test is still normal! That doctor is really something!!*angry!

Sometimes proteinuria might occur after a heavy protein meal or if is not taken in midstream. It is a qualitative test rather than quantitative. However if 24 hours protein is normal then the initial test should not be treated as pathological.
