Urine Total Protein

• Description:

  The Cypress Diagnostics kit Urine Total Protein is an in vitro diagnostic medical device intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of total protein in human urine or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) . The device is not automated. The measurement of total protein is intended to be used to aid to identify proteinuria (presence of protein in the urine, that can cause renal disease) or infections and intracranial pressure (it can be caused by elevated concentration of protein in CSF), in patient risk population. This kit is intended to be used by healthcare professionals in a laboratory-based testing environment.

• Certification:

  CE

• Storage Temperature:

  2 - 8 °C

• Notes:

  Through osmotic pressure, serum protein is involved in the maintenance of normal distribution of water between blood and tissues. The several fractions of serum protein vary independently and widely in disease. Low protein is primary caused by malnutrition, impaired synthesis, loss (as by hemorrhage) or excessive protein catabolism. Elevated urine protein levels are caused mainly by dehydration.
