Protein and Creatinine Urine Test
Item # LC003129
A urine test that monitors kidney conditions
The protein and creatinine urine test is used to monitor individuals with chronic kidney disease or those who infrequently have protein in their urine in the absence of kidney disease.
|
Your kidneys filter waste products from your blood while retaining components your body needs — including proteins. Low levels of protein in urine are normal. Temporarily high levels of protein in urine aren't unusual either, especially after exercise or during an illness. However, some diseases and conditions can allow proteins to pass through the filters of your kidneys, causing protein in urine. A protein to creatinine ratio may used if a person occasionally has some degree of protein in their urine without apparent kidney dysfunction. This test may also be used to monitor people with chronic kidney disease. Instructions Fasting is not required for this test. Take all medications as prescribed. |
