What is URINARY PROTEIN?

This test measures the amount of protein present in your urine. Normally, only very small amounts of protein are found in urine, as healthy kidneys prevent most proteins from passing through.

Why is this test important?

Elevated protein in urine (proteinuria) can be an early sign of kidney damage or disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes. It's an important indicator for monitoring kidney health and detecting potential issues before they become severe.

How to Prepare

You may be asked to collect a urine sample over a 24-hour period for more accurate results. Follow specific instructions provided.
