About this test
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
