- Description
Reflexive Testing Information: Initial test performed is urine protein electrophoresis. If initial screening results indicate the possibility of abnormal protein spikes, additional testing for characterization will be performed at an additional charge. For 24 hour urine, see Protein Electrophoresis Reflexive Panel, 24hr Urine [UELPP]

Ordering & Collection
- Specimen Type
- Urine
- Collection
-
Random Urine.
Unacceptable: urine collected with PRESERVATIVE in collection container
- Handling Instructions
Specimen Volume Notes:
- 25 mL is the minimum sample volume required in order to be able to perform UELP and UIFIX on a sample that has a negative protein dipstick. Because urine protein concentration is not known at the time of collection, 25 mL is requested for all specimens.
- 10 mL is the minimum that can be concentrated in order to perform a UELP when the sample has a negative protein dipstick. Specimens with less than 10 mL will be cancelled.
- For samples between 10 mL and 25 mL with a positive protein concentration on a dipstick, testing for both UELP and UIFIX will be attempted.
