24 Hours Urinary Protein Cretanine Clearance

The 24-Hour Urinary Protein & Creatinine Clearance Test is a laboratory investigation that evaluates protein excretion in urine and assesses how effectively the kidneys filter creatinine from the blood.

It combines urinary protein measurement with creatinine clearance assessment to help healthcare professionals evaluate kidney function and identify possible abnormalities in renal filtration.

What Does This Test Check?

• Total protein excretion over 24 hours

• Creatinine clearance

• Kidney filtration efficiency

• Abnormal protein loss through urine

• Possible kidney function abnormalities

Sample Requirements

• Sample Type: 24-Hour Urine and Serum

• Collection Period: Complete 24-hour urine collection

• Test Category: Laboratory – Biochemistry

Patient Preparation

• Follow your doctor's instructions regarding diet and fluid intake.

• Inform your healthcare provider about medications and supplements.

• Avoid unusual strenuous physical activity unless advised otherwise.

• Follow the laboratory's instructions for urine collection and serum sampling.

Sample Collection Instructions

24-Hour Urine Collection:

1. On the first morning, empty your bladder into the toilet and record the time. Do not collect this first sample.

2. Collect all urine passed during the following 24 hours.

3. At exactly the same time the next morning, collect your final urine sample.

4. Store the sample according to laboratory instructions.

5. Submit the complete collection to the laboratory.

Serum Sample:
A blood sample will be collected by laboratory staff according to the laboratory's protocol.

Relevant Clinical Assessments

• Kidney Function Evaluation

• Creatinine Clearance Assessment

• Proteinuria

• Renal Filtration Abnormalities

Important Information

Accurate 24-hour urine collection is essential for reliable results. Serum creatinine and urine creatinine measurements are used together for creatinine clearance assessment.

Please confirm test availability and sample collection requirements with the laboratory before booking.
