Useful For/Utility
Detecting glucose and protein in the urine of obstetric patients.
Methodology
Clinitek or IRIS
Includes glucose, protein.
Clinical Information
The test is specific for glucose. No other substance excreted in urine is known to give a positive result, including other reducing substances (eg, galactose, fructose, and lactose). This test may be used to determine whether the reducing substance found in urine is glucose. Glucosuria occurs when the renal threshold for glucose is exceeded (typically >180 mg/dL); this is most commonly, although not exclusively, seen in diabetes. However, if the urine glucose is high and the patient is not known to have diabetes mellitus, more specific testing should be considered (fasting blood glucose and/or glycosylated hemoglobin).
Protein in urine normally consists of plasma proteins that have been filtered by glomeruli and not reabsorbed by the proximal tubule, and proteins secreted by renal tubules or other accessory glands.
In pregnant women, a urinary protein excretion of more than 300 mg/24 hours is frequently cited as consistent with preeclampsia and 12-hour total protein excretion highly correlates with 24-hour values in this patient population.
