Q: urine creatinine 24hour is 18.5 (7.1-17.7mmol/d) and my urine protein 24hour is 0.14 (<0.15g/d), i have igm k monocloncal protein in b2 what is this?

Stop worrying: Reference ranges are where most people fall; there's no reason at all to get upset about a trivially high creatinine on a test that is done only to make a ratio with the albumin, which seems quite normal, thanks. My own guess is that your physician is eager to reassure you, and i'd urge you to accept this. There's much good in your life & future -- keep your eyes there.

Q: what causes protein in the urine?

A lot of causes: In young people protein in the urine is usually due to heavy exercise or could be due to standing too long but it usually is minimal. The most common pathological cause of protein in the urine is diabetes followed by hypertension. Other causes are usually "glomerulonephritis" which are a group of diseases affecting the functional units of the kidneys. If you have protein in the urine call ur doc.

Q: what does +1 protein in your urine equal?

1+ protein: 1+ protein is the equivalent of 200-500 mg/24 hours. The usual system quantifies protein as 0, trace, and then 1+ to 4+. So there is a source of protein in the urine and the meaning of this needs to be looked at with any other lab abnormalities, signs/symptoms, clinical context.

Question 1

two recent urine tests have indicated a high protein content (between 1+ and 2 +.) my dr. didn't seem that concerned. should i be??

Accepted Answer

+ 2 urine protein: F unknown age and health history: Two recent urine tests have indicated a high protein content (between 1+ and 2 +.) My dr. didn't seem that concerned. Should I be?? ANS: yes especially if you are pregnant- but will depend on how old you are,what time of day urine was tested and any other health problems you have. Dipstick testing can not be very accurate. Was it a clean catch midstream urine?

Question 2

i recently had a random urine test done, and my protein total random urine is 393. my creatinine two urine is 242.6. is this high?

Accepted Answer

These results could: Be due  to effects on the kidney from diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune, connective tissue diseases etc. Ask and get reassurance from your dr. Take care!                http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/protein-in-urine/my00630.                                               http://www.m.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/proteinuria-protein-in-urine.

Question 3

if gfr went from 71, 55, 43, 34 in a year then the last test was 49 but protein in urine went up from 10 to 39.9.  stopped 1 med and change to different bp meds. just curious which number is more concerning gfr or urine?

Accepted Answer

Both: Changes in both values are of concern.  It is imperative that you consult a kidney doctor, nephrologist, for a  proper evaluation to ascertain what treatment may be needed to prevent deterioration of kidney function.
Do it at your earliest.
Wish you good health!

Question 4

can you tell me different chemical methods for the detection of sugar, protein, blood and ketone bodies in the urine.?

Accepted Answer

Urine dipstick: A urine dipstick can check all of these, buy in any drug store, Amazon etc

Question 5

i have protein, blood and bilirubin in urine. can it be related to hysterectomy done two months ago?all pre op labs were negative in dec as well.

Accepted Answer

Not likely : These are very common nonspecific findings in urine. It could represent an infection and likely represents nothing. It would not be related to a hysterectomy. Follow your doctors advice if they felt further testing was needed.

Question 6

testing for amyloidosis. two 24-hr urine protein labs both showed protein 6.3mg/dl. 1st test was 140mg/24hrs from volume of 2225ml of pee. 2nd test was 129.2mg/24hrs from 2050ml pee. both in range, but if peed more would have been over limit. worry?

Accepted Answer

No worries please.: The test results take into account the concentration of protein in the urine, not just the amount.  If you had consumed more fluids and made more urine, the total amount of protein would be the same even tho there was more urine.  Example: if you have a cup of salt water and add more water to it, the water will be less salty but the total amount of salt will stay the same.

Question 7

protein level in my urine analysis is marked as "f.trace" is it normal ? wheres as w.b.c 14-16 and r.b.c 2-4 ,ph acid , what does the results indicate

Accepted Answer

Trace protein: Trace protein in the urine is never worth working up. You have a few more white cells than is normal but this may be vaginal contamination. The red cells and pH are within normal limits.

Question 8

urine creatinine 24hour is 18.5 (7.1-17.7mmol/d) and my urine protein 24hour is 0.14 (<0.15g/d), i have igm k monocloncal protein in b2 what is this?
