Blood work and 24hr urine test done. total protein and creatine within limits. urine showed creatine 3.4 g/24hr and protein 180 mg/24hr. are these numbers cause for concern? there was spillage which i put into the can and may have went over 24hrs?

: By the total creatinine in the urine, the sample was over-collected, i.e. the sample is more than 24 hours so the total protein is erroneously high, i.e. not truly 180 mg for 24 hours. Your urine protein/creatinine is 0.05 which is completely normal.
