Protein, Total, Quantitative, 24-Hour Urine

This test measures the total amount of protein released into your urine over a full 24-hour period. Because healthy kidneys normally keep protein in the blood, finding significant amounts in the urine helps show if the kidney's filters are damaged or under stress. This information is useful for monitoring conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure and helps rule out serious kidney disorders. However, this test alone cannot identify the specific underlying cause of the kidney damage or diagnose a disease.
