Urinalysis / Kidney
Also known as: Urine protein - 24 hour, Chronic kidney disease - urine protein, Kidney failure - urine protein
No common urgent flag from this test alone
This test checks all the protein that leaves your body in your pee over 24 hours. It helps doctors see how well your kidneys are cleaning your blood.
Doctors often order this test to look for signs of kidney problems or kidney disease. They do this especially if other tests show your kidneys might not be working right.
Normal protein levels in urine can vary slightly between different laboratories. Your doctor will interpret your results based on the lab's specific reference ranges and your overall health.
