Zusammenfassung:The presence of protein in urine samples without any background leads to subsequent unnecessary tests, The objective of this paper was to assess protein in urine before and after semen sampling in azoospermic and non-azoospermic men to determine the role of semen proteins or spermatozoa as a source of false proteinuria. Urine samples were collected from 220 men before and after semen sampling. Urine dipsticks and sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) turbidity tests were subsequently used for detection of urinary protein. Out of 220 participants, 14 cases had proteinuria before ejaculation on semen analysis (S/A), while among the remaining 206 individuals, 54 (26.21%) showed positive proteinuria upon semen sampling (P
