A protein urine test measures the protein level in the urine. Kidneys are responsible for filtering out excess wastes and water from the blood to make urine.

When is the Protein Urine Test prescribed?

A doctor prescribes the protein urine test if an individual is at high risk of kidney disease and shows glomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndrome symptoms, such as frequent urination, bubbles or foams in urine, swollen hands, feet, and face. To check if there are any other kidney problems or conditions that impact the kidneys, healthcare professionals may advise to undergo the test. For identifying the normal values the 24-hour urine protein test involves collecting multiple urine samples over 24–48 hours. This differs from the protein-to-creatinine ratio test, which only needs a urine sample. Although, this test can be used as a follow-up to a positive result from a protein-to-creatinine ratio test. Generally, 150 milligrams of protein in the urine daily is the normal range one should have.

Additionally, pregnant women depending on the trimesters, can also experience protein in urea and require 24-hour urine tests in pregnancy. It could be an indication of preeclampsia, a severe condition that requires prompt medical attention if protein occurs in the urine later on, after 20 weeks. During early stages, the presence of protein may signify an underlying condition like diabetes, lupus, or kidney disease. It is essential to be aware of these potential causes and consult a healthcare professional for guidance if one experiences protein in urine during pregnancy.
