Protein in the urine

01 / Assessment

A clear understanding
of your results.

A specialist review establishes whether protein loss is persistent, measures its extent and considers possible causes. Results are interpreted with the urine sediment, kidney function trend and any associated symptoms.

• Repeat urine albumin-to-creatinine or protein-to-creatinine ratio
• Urinalysis and assessment for blood in the urine
• Kidney function, blood pressure and diabetes review
• Further blood tests, imaging or biopsy when clinically indicated

02 / Management

A plan tailored to
your clinical needs.

Treatment depends on the cause and degree of protein loss. The plan may include kidney-protective treatment, management of associated conditions and monitoring of urine protein and kidney function. A biopsy is considered when it is likely to clarify the diagnosis or influence treatment.
