Urine specific gravity may have an effect on the measurement of microprotein. When the specific gravity of urine is elevated, the amount of urinary microprotein may increase, which may lead to falsely high measurement results.
Urine specific gravity is related to the concentration of urine, and its change reflects the condition of urine to some extent. If the patient has an elevated urine specific gravity, it means that the urine is very concentrated. After the concentration of urine is very strong, it may lead to an increase in the content of protein in the urine, and at this time, if the micro-protein test is conducted, it is very likely to have a false high situation, thus affecting the results of the measurement.
In this regard, when the micro-protein measurement results are abnormal, it is recommended that timely hospital consultation, under the guidance of the doctor to the measurement of the conditions for a detailed understanding of the exclusion of other interfering factors after the measurement of urine again, if necessary, can be further quantitative testing of 24-hour urine protein.
