A member asked:
Did a protein to creatinine urine test. results came back creatinine urine-19.8 and protein, total, urine- <4.0 & protein/creat ratio- nothing because urine was to diluted. so can i still have protein in urine because of this diluted specimen?

See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if your urine creatinine was 19.8 mg/dL it was not too dilute and lack of protein suggests that you do not have abnormal amount of protein in urine. Wish you good health!

Please answer this question, in a way that is understandable. Are ''protein'' levels in urine tests measured by mg/dl, or protein-creatinine ratio?
