Protein, 24 Hour Urine

The 24-hour urine protein test measures the amount of protein excreted in the urine over a full day. This test is crucial for assessing kidney function and diagnosing various kidney disorders. Normally, urine contains a small amount of protein, but elevated levels can indicate kidney damage, infection, or systemic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension. The test provides important information about kidney health, guiding further diagnosis and management of potential conditions.
