Protein Electrophoresis With Interpretation, 24-Hour Urine

This test measures the specific types and amounts of protein present in urine collected over a 24-hour period. It helps show whether the kidneys are filtering blood correctly or if they are leaking proteins due to damage in specific areas. By identifying patterns in these proteins, the test helps doctors distinguish between kidney function issues and conditions involving abnormal protein production, such as certain blood disorders. However, it does not provide a final diagnosis of kidney disease or cancer on its own and must be reviewed alongside other clinical findings.
