Proteinuria is defined as a protein/creatinine ratio greater than 45 mg/mmol (which is equivalent to albumin/creatinine ratio of greater than 30 mg/mmol or approximately 300 mg/g) with very high levels of proteinuria having a ratio greater than 100 mg/mmol. [23] Protein dipstick measurements should not be confused with the amount of protein ...
Tertiary structure of a mouse major urinary protein. The protein has eight beta sheets (yellow) arranged in a beta barrel open at one end, with alpha helices (red) at both the amino-and carboxyl termini. The structure is resolved from Protein Data Bank entry 1i04. Find all instances of this protein in the PDB
Uromodulin (UMOD),Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP), is a zona pellucida-like domain-containing glycoprotein that in humans is encoded by the UMOD gene. [5] [6] Uromodulin is the most abundant protein excreted in ordinary urine. [7] The human UMOD gene is located on chromosome 16. While several transcript variants may exist for this gene, the full ...
Lysine is an essential amino acid in humans. [50] The human daily nutritional requirement varies from ~60 mg/kg in infancy to ~30 mg/kg in adults. [36] This requirement is commonly met in a western society with the intake of lysine from meat and vegetable sources well in excess of the recommended requirement. [36]
However, as the protein concentration increases, the colour progresses through various shades of green and finally to blue. Readings are reported in terms of negative, trace, 1+, 2+, 3+ and 4+ or the semi-quantitative values of 30, 100, 300 or 2000 mg/dL corresponding to each colour change. Trace values are considered to be less than 30 mg/dL.
During pregnancy, it may be performed to screen for protein in the urine (proteinuria), which can be a sign of pre-eclampsia, [19] and bacteria in the urine, which is associated with pregnancy complications. [16] [20] The analysis of urine is invaluable in the diagnosis and management of kidney diseases. [21]

Urine amino acids [1] Share of amino acid in various human diets and the resulting mix of amino acids in human blood serum. Glutamate and glutamine are the most frequent in food at over 10%, while alanine, glutamine, and glycine are the most common in blood. Complications: Severe protein loss in the blood: Risk factors
