Protein - 24 hrs Urine

The Protein – 24 Hrs Urine test is used to measure the total amount of protein eliminated in urine over a 24-hour period. Normally, only small amounts of protein are present in urine, but increased levels may indicate kidney damage or disease.

This test is important for diagnosing conditions such as nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, and diabetic kidney disease. It provides a more accurate assessment of protein loss compared to a single urine sample.

The test is commonly used to evaluate kidney function, monitor disease progression, and assess response to treatment in patients with renal disorders.

The purpose of this test is to

• To measure total protein excretion in urine over 24 hours
• To assess kidney function
• To detect abnormal protein loss
• To help diagnose kidney diseases
• To monitor progression of renal disorders
