Protein Urine Test Strips Kidney Health Monitoring (Protein, Albumin, Proteinuria Screening)
Protein Urine Strips
Protein urine strips are single-parameter test strips used to check for protein in urine.
They are a straightforward choice for customers who only want to monitor urinary protein rather than using a multi-parameter urinalysis strip.
Protein urine strips test for:
- Protein
What May Protein in Urine Indicate?
Small or temporary amounts of protein may sometimes appear following:
- Strenuous exercise
- Dehydration
- Fever
- Illness
- Physical stress
Persistent or raised protein levels may also be associated with kidney-related or urinary health conditions and should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
Protein urine strips may be used for:
- General urinary health screening
- Kidney-related screening
- Monitoring recommended by a healthcare professional
- Checking protein without testing multiple other parameters
How Are Protein Urine Strips Used?
A fresh urine sample is collected in a clean container. The test pad is exposed to the sample and then compared with the supplied colour chart at the correct reading time.
Results can be affected by incorrect timing, sample contamination, storage conditions and some medications or health factors. Always follow the instructions supplied with the product.
Protein urine strips are screening aids and cannot determine why protein is present. An unexpected, strongly positive or repeated positive result should be discussed with a doctor, pharmacist or qualified healthcare professional.
