What is a Protein (Urine 24 Hrs) Test?

A Protein (Urine 24 Hrs) Test is a urine test that measures the total amount of protein excreted in your urine over a 24-hour period. Healthy kidneys prevent most proteins from passing into the urine. However, when the kidneys are damaged or not functioning properly, protein can leak into the urine.

This test will help the doctors assess the functioning of the kidney and diagnose diseases including kidney diseases, nephrotic syndrome, kidney damage due to diabetes, and high blood pressure in the kidney. In KEKRI, a Protein (Urine 24 Hrs) Test is suggested by the doctors in case of presence of persistent protein in the urine and/or monitoring kidney disorders.

The main difference between the standard urine test and this test is that the former involves collection of urine for 24 hours.
