Protein Total 24 Hour Urine Test

The Protein Total 24 Hour Urine Test measures total protein excreted in urine over a full day to evaluate kidney function and detect proteinuria. Elevated protein may indicate glomerular disease, nephrotic syndrome, diabetes, or hypertension-related damage. This test helps assess renal health, monitor progression of kidney disorders, and provide context for diagnosing systemic conditions affecting protein balance.

The Protein Total 24 Hour Urine Test test contains 1 test with 1 biomarker .

Proteinuria, mainly glomerular, is often a manifestation of primary renal disease although transient proteinuria may occur with fevers, thyroid disorders, and in heart disease. In the absence of renal disease, the degree of proteinuria is slight, usually amounting to less than 2 grams per day. In chronic glomerulonephritis and in the nephrotic syndrome including lipoid nephrosis and in some forms of hypertensive vascular disease, protein loss may vary from a few grams to as much as 30 g/day.
