However, the presence of proteins in urine (proteinuria) can indicate certain health issues, particularly kidney diseases.<\/p>\n<h3>Types of proteinuria<\/h3>\n<p>There are three main types of proteinuria: <strong>transient, orthostatic, and persistent.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Transient Proteinuria<\/strong>\u00a0is the most common type and usually resolves without treatment. <em>It can occur due to factors such as high fever, intense physical activity, or urinary infections.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Orthostatic Proteinuria<\/strong> occurs only when a person is standing or sitting and disappears when lying down. It affects 2-5% of adults but is rare in individuals over 30 years old. The cause of orthostatic proteinuria is unknown.<em> It is not harmful, does not require treatment, and typically resolves with age.<\/em> Diagnosis involves collecting urine separately during the day (standing\/sitting) and night (after sleeping).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Persistent proteinuria<\/strong> occurs in patients with kidney or other conditions, such as <em>diabetes, hypertension, or bone marrow disorders like multiple myeloma.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How is the test performed?<\/h2>\n<p>The test involves providing a urine sample. A laboratory technician uses a<strong> test strip with a sensitive area that changes color when proteins are present.<\/strong> The color change on the strip indicates the level of proteins in your urine.<\/p>\n<h2>Preparing for the test<\/h2>\n<p>Before the test,<em> inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, as some can affect the results.<\/em> Several factors can influence the outcome of the urine protein test, including dehydration, use of contrast agents for radiological exams, physical activity and urinary tract infections.<\/p>\n<h2>Interpretation of results<\/h2>\n<p>Normal protein levels in urine vary, but for a random urine sample, they<strong> typically range from 0 to 14 mg\/dL.<\/strong> Higher than normal protein levels in your urine can indicate conditions such as kidney disease, heart failure, pregnancy complications, and urinary infections.<\/p>\n<h2>Risks associated with the proteins in urine test<\/h2>\n<p>The proteins in urine test is safe and risk-free. It involves normal urination, so there is no discomfort involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The proteins in urine test is used to detect and measure proteins, including albumin, in the urine.
