The Protein Total Random Urine test: Measures the number of proteins in urine. Normally, traces of protein can be found in urine, but detection of an elevated amount of protein in the urine may be due to impaired filtration capacity of the kidneys.If levels of protein in urine continue to rise, it suggests damage to the kidney. Due to this damage, the basic functions of the kidney like filtration are affected leading to increased levels of protein in the urine.In chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension, there may be an increase in protein levels in the urine that indicates kidney damage. However, early kidney damage does not produce any symptoms.
