A member asked:
I have done numerous urine dipstick tests and all come back that i have 15mg of protein in my urine. my blood pressure is normal. is it normal to have?

Dipsticks no good: Urine dipsticks for protein, even when repeated, are unreliable. You need a proper urinalysis, by far best is a 24 hr. collection. This will also check for other things in your urine. Simple blood tests are also done. If you do have significant protein in your urine, you need a medical workup. The possibilities are too broad to speculate at this point.

Good evening doctors. With regard to urine assessment, are dipsticks valid and reliable enough to check blood and protein, or is it better to do urinanalysls?
