The Protein, Total - Spot Urine (Strip Method) test is a diagnostic procedure that measures the total amount of protein excreted in the urine. This test is conducted to detect or monitor various medical conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, and diabetes. The test helps in identifying any damage or inflammation in the kidneys or other organs that may result in protein leakage into the urine.

Symptoms of Proteinuria (Protein in Urine)

  • Foamy or bubbly urine
  • Swelling in the face, hands, feet, and abdomen
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Loss of appetite and weight loss
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Abdominal pain and discomfort
  • Shortness of breath and chest pain

Test Procedure

To conduct the Protein, Total - Spot Urine (Strip Method) test, the patient needs to collect a spot urine sample. A spot urine sample refers to collecting a sample of urine at any time during the day. The patient needs to follow these steps to collect the sample:
1. Begin by washing your hands with soap and water.
2. Clean your genital area with a cleansing pad provided by the healthcare provider.
3. Let a small amount of urine flow into the toilet bowl without collecting it.
4. Collect a sample of urine in a clean container provided by your healthcare provider.
5. Seal the container tightly after collection.

At the laboratory, the sample is analysed by dipping a reagent strip with different colour pads into it. The strip changes colour based on the amount of protein present in the sample. The strip is compared with a chart to determine the level of protein in the urine.

Treatment

In case of a positive result, the healthcare provider may recommend further tests such as a 24-hour urine collection or a kidney biopsy to identify the underlying cause of proteinuria. It is important to seek prompt medical attention and follow the recommended treatment plan to manage any underlying medical condition.
