24-hour urine protein quantitative drinking too much water may be affected to some extent. Patients are advised to follow their normal routine.
The 24-hour urine protein quantification is the product of the urine protein concentration and the 24-hour urine volume, so the more water you drink, the greater the urine volume, the 24-hour urine protein quantification will rise accordingly. However, this relationship is not linear, and the concentration of urine protein may gradually decrease as urine output increases. So drinking more water may cause the 24-hour urine protein quantification to suffer.
Either too much or too little urine will affect the accuracy of 24-hour urine protein quantification, therefore, when keeping 24-hour urine protein quantification, you need to maintain the same amount of water intake as in daily life, too much or too little may lead to inaccurate test results, affecting the judgment of the disease.
If the patient has an abnormal 24-hour urine protein quantification, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in a timely manner, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
