Understanding Protein - Random (Spot) Urine in Chennai


What is Protein - Random (Spot) Urine in Chennai?

Protein - Random (Spot) Urine is a test to measure the amount of proteins in urine. Normally traces of protein can be found in urine but detection of elevated amount of protein in urine may be due to impaired filtration capacity of kidneys. This condition might indicate a kidney damage.

This test is recommended to patients suffering from diabetes and hypertension as they are more prone to kidney problems. A regular monitoring of protein levels is mandatory to check the kidney health and avoid any further complications.

Sometimes a very low amount of protein can indicate urinary tract infection, dehydration or stones as well.

What does Protein - Random (Spot) Urine measure?

This test measures protein released into the urine. The normal protein secreted is less than 150 mg/day and albumin less than 30 mg/day. It has been observed that in conditions like pregnancy, infections, stress, diet, heavy exercise, or exposure to cold the levels of the protein rise temporarily. If these high levels of protein in urine continue to rise, it suggests damage to the kidney. Due to this damage, the basic function of kidney like filtration gets affected which leads to increased levels of protein in the urine. The liver produces protein albumin which comprises of 50% to 60% of the protein in the blood. The rest of the content comprises of a mixture of globulins which includes immunoglobulins.

In chronic (from a long time) diseases like diabetes and hypertension, the increase in protein levels in urine indicates kidney damage. However, early kidney damage does not produce any symptoms. With time as the damage increases, symptoms such as swelling of the face, neck, hands, feet along with shortness of breath, nausea, and fatigue occur. In conditions like multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and amyloidosis there is excessive production of protein which leads to the high secretion of protein in the urine.
