Protein,Total,Urine

A protein in urine test measures how much protein is in your urine (pee). Normally, you have very little protein in your urine.

Ranges

Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

Panels that include this biomarker

  • Protein, Total, Quantitative, 24-Hour Urine 003277

    2 analytes · Urine · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Within 1 day

    Method and collection
    Method
    Spectrophotometry
    Collection
    Instruct patient to void at 8 AM and discard the specimen. Then collect all urine including the final specimen voided at the end of the 24-hour collection period (ie, 8 AM the following day). Mix well. Screw the lid on securely. Container must be labeled with patient's name and date and time collection started and finished.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
