Concerned about elevated protein levels in urine

Last week I was in the hopsital, for preterm labor pains. I was also dehydrated, had high blood pressure (for an hour or so) and small contrations.

I am 34 weeks pregnant

When i was discharged My blood pressure was down, however they instructed me to do a 24hr. urine collection. The results came back My protein is elevated Normal range is 300, my levels were 900. My blood pressure, liver function and Uric acid came back normal. She is sending me to a kidney doctor to see what's going on. My doctor doesn't know what's going on at all. Which has my nerves all over the place.

Can anyone expain what all this means?

Mayo clinic lists things like emotional stress or fever as things that could cause protein in your urine.  Maybe it is the stress of being hospitalized for preterm labor that caused it?
