**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.
