A member asked:
Why would one need a 24 hour urine protein measurement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urine protein: When doctors are trying to determine how much protein a patient is losing in their urine, we often use a 24hour urine collection. If done correctly, this can be very accurate for determining both protein loss and renal function.
