24 hour urine test

[MarthaP]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can help....

The doctor called me today with the results of my 24 hour urine test. He said that it was nothing to be concerned about and the amount was 0.5.

I have no idea what that means! and what normal is.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Martha

Hello Martha
I'd say you have to know exactly what was being measured such as Protein. Lab results, normal ranges differ from lab to lab and sometimes country to country. The main thing is that the doctor was happy !

If it was protein, less than 10 mg/dl. would be normal according to several sites that give values

Ask for copies of your test results & keep them in a folder. It can come in very useful, short term and long term.

Cheers
