- Lab Code

- Epic Name
- Protein (Total), 24hr Urine
- Description
Random urine total protein without creatinine is not medically appropriate. For random urine protein, order Protein/Creatinine Ratio, Random Urine [UPCRTR] to normalize for urine concentration.
Rationale: KDIGO guidelines direct that urine protein be expressed as a protein/creatinine ratio whenever possible, and recognize the 24‑hour collection as the reference for accurate total protein excretion.- Components
