Performing Lab
Protein, Total, Random Urine with Creatinine
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
Proteinuria may be characteristic of renal disease and concentrations may be increased in settings such as diabetes, hypertension, nephritic syndrome, or drug-induced nephrotoxicity; measurement of total protein and creatinine in a random urine sample allows calculation of protein/creatinine ratio to assess kidney function and detect abnormal urinary protein excretion.
