Total Protein

. The urine protein test is used to measure the amount of protein in the urine, helping doctors assess kidney function and detect kidney-related diseases or other conditions in the body. Protein is an important component of tissues and cells.
. It consists of two main components: albumin and globulin. Albumin helps retain water in the blood vessels, while globulin plays a role in the body’s immune system. An increase in protein in the body can lead to overloading of the kidneys, liver, and bones, as well as an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. A protein deficiency can lead to a higher risk of infections and illnesses, and a decrease in muscle mass.

**Note to PSC nurses & CS team:**
Urine protein results may vary between methods due to differences in sensitivity and methodology, 50556-0: Urinalysis (Urine Chemistry) uses the Benzethonium chloride method, while 2888-6: Total Protein [Urine] relies on protein error of pH indicators. These methodologies can yield different results, especially at low concentrations.
