► THIS VIDEO offers an in-depth look at three distinct methods used for measuring urine protein levels, a critical aspect in evaluating kidney function. We begin with the urine dipstick test, a simple, colorimetric method that provides a qualitative assessment of protein presence. Next, we delve into the 24-hour urine collection method, offering a more quantitative approach by measuring total protein excretion over a day. Finally, we explore the protein-to-creatinine ratio, a convenient spot measurement technique that estimates daily protein or albumin values. Each method is discussed in detail, highlighting its application, advantages, and limitations. This video is an invaluable resource for medical and nursing students aiming to deepen their understanding of nephrology and patient care diagnostics.
