What are the signs of kidney disease? Yellow urine?I went to the doctors and they said that i have 500+ protein in my urine. They said its an early sign of Kidney disease. What are some other signs of Kidney disease? If your urine is really yellow, what does that mean? not enough water? Please help me!

If you have dark brown or bloody urine, be concerned. Yellow urine covers the gamut from almost clear to dark yellow, and is mainly the result of normal pigment varied by the amount of water being put out by the kidneys.
You cannot see the protein in the urine, but if there is cloudy appearance, you may be looking at crystaline matter or white cells. Only microscopic examination can be sure.
You would be concerned only if there are symptoms of pain on urination, blood in the urine, dark brown urine color, incontinence or other unusual symptoms.
You are better off just listening to your doctor, instead of trying to find things to worry about. Only a fool has himself for his doctor.

Try eating foods that don't strain your kidneys so much. Eating a bunch of meat and dairy can lead to serious kidney problems. Of course, it could be something else, no way to know unless you go to a doctor. Just eat more balanced meals and exercise.

wait a second...didn't you say you went to the doctor?
so, you didn't ASK him anything??? Even after he told you that that was a sign of kidney disease?
Couldn't you have asked him what the other signs were? Not that it matters. They did some kind of test that measured your protein content in your urine. Something that you probably couldn't do at home. And THAT was a sign of kidney disease.
Shouldn't you be asking us what might work as a cure?
Just a thought...vitamin C is responsible for supporting your immune system. Start taking 3000 mg a day for a month and see what happens.
You don't take any now, do you? OR maybe you take 200 mg once a week when you remember to take vitamins.
It's not enough. Don't pay any attention to what the government says about minimum daily dosage. Do you want your kidneys' to be healthy or not? Then don't listen to our goddamned government. They're all just a bunch of liars.
I'd say the minimum is 1 gram a day. If you might be sick, you might consider taking 6 grams a day. There IS no upper limit. I've read about people taking 20 grams a day. No adverse side effects.

This is a bad sign. You should drink more water, and there is a dietary change you can make.
This site I saw had a great discussion on kideny issues:
