Physiological Reference Ranges
The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.
0 – 0.15 g/24h
0 – 0.15 g/24h
0 – 0.15 g/24h
What does a low result mean?
A reading below 0.15 g/24h is the optimal hallmark of intact, healthy glomerular kidney filters.
What does a high result mean?
A mild transient trace frequently occurs after prolonged standing (orthostatic proteinuria), fever, or intense exercise.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Could recent sports or a mild fever have influenced this urine collection?
- Was the full 24-hour volume collection complete and accurate?
- Would a spot urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) be a simpler follow-up?
Do you have a full blood test report?
