Protein Electrophoresis 24 Hour Urine Test: Your Comprehensive Kidney Health Assessment
When you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms or have concerns about your kidney function, it’s natural to feel anxious. Our Protein Electrophoresis 24 Hour Urine Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve. This advanced diagnostic test offers a detailed analysis of protein patterns in your urine, helping identify potential kidney disorders, multiple myeloma, and other serious conditions before they progress.
Understanding Your Protein Electrophoresis Test
This specialised test examines the types and amounts of proteins in your urine collected over 24 hours. Unlike standard urine tests, the 24-hour collection provides a comprehensive picture of your kidney’s filtering function. Using advanced agarose gel electrophoresis technology, we separate and identify different protein types, giving your healthcare provider crucial information about your kidney health and potential underlying conditions.
The test is completely non-invasive and requires no special preparation, making it convenient and stress-free. Simply collect your urine over 24 hours as instructed, and our expert team handles the rest with precision and care.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained fatigue or weakness that persists
- Swelling in your hands, feet, or around your eyes
- Foamy or bubbly urine that doesn’t clear
- Family history of kidney disease or multiple myeloma
- Persistent bone pain or frequent infections
- Abnormal results on previous urine or blood tests
- Monitoring known kidney conditions or treatment effectiveness
Many South Africans discover kidney issues through this test that might have otherwise gone undetected for years.
