Urine Protein Test – Screening for Kidney and Systemic Conditions in Slough

Purpose of the Urine Protein Test
The presence of protein in urine, known as proteinuria, may indicate kidney damage or an underlying systemic condition such as diabetes or hypertension. Normally, the kidneys filter waste products while retaining essential proteins in the bloodstream. When the kidneys are impaired, proteins may leak into the urine.

Clinical Significance
A urine protein test can help detect:

Early kidney disease

Glomerular damage

Effects of chronic conditions like lupus or high blood pressure

Risk progression in patients with diabetes
