Patient friends often ask: What is 24-hour urine protein quantification? 24-hour urine protein quantification refers to doctors collecting urine from patients within 24 hours to detect their own symptoms. This is actually very helpful for discovering diseases, so many people can't help but ask, isn't there a urine test? So what is the method and significance of 24-hour urine protein quantitative collection?
Under normal circumstances, a very small amount of protein can be excreted in human urine, which cannot be detected using conventional methods such as qualitative urine protein testing. Therefore, 24-hour quantitative urine protein measurement is required. Excessive urine protein excretion indicates a problem with kidney function, which can be referred to in the urine routine examination section.
Conducting 24-hour quantitative analysis of urine protein has certain significance for the treatment and efficacy observation of kidney diseases.
In order to accurately measure 24-hour urine protein quantification, the urine volume in the bladder should be cleared and discarded at 8:00 am, and the timing should start. All urine discharged during the 24-hour period should be stored in a container (including urine that was released at 8:00 am the next day), and all urine should be sent for examination. If you defecate within these 24 hours, it is also emphasized to collect urine first and then defecate. Don't miss a small amount of urine.
Incomplete collection of urine volume results in inaccurate calculation of urine protein volume. Before testing, the total urine volume should be measured in a measuring cup, then stirred well. Take out a small cup to measure the protein content per 100 milliliters, and then calculate based on the actual urine volume to calculate the 24-hour urine protein content. In summary, in order to accurately measure 24-hour urine protein quantification, it is necessary to accurately collect daily urine volume, and the detection part is a mixture of total urine volume for representativeness.
Because this experiment calculates the absolute value of urine protein and has little to do with the amount of water consumed, there is no need to limit the amount of water and food consumed on the day of measurement. Just eat as usual.
The detailed introduction in the previous text, I don't know if patients have a clear understanding of it. If there are any further questions, please go to the hospital for consultation and treatment to avoid delaying the condition! It is recommended that patients with red nephritis, under the guidance of a doctor, develop a targeted dietary treatment plan for their condition, in order to better adhere to a scientific diet, improve the treatment effect and quality of life of nephritis!
