When expectant parents decide to have a baby, there are many preparations to be made, such as the baby's small house, the physical indicators of both partners, whether they are suitable for conception, how to adjust, and so on. The results after inspection cannot be understood by non professionals. For example, what is the difference in urine protein during a routine urine test?
What's going on with the addition or subtraction of urine protein in urine routine examination
According to the description, urine protein ± represents half a plus sign, indicating trace proteinuria. Urine protein can be positive after exercise and can also occur when kidney function is impaired. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo a 24-hour urine test for accuracy.
Suggestion: Try to drink less water during your next check-up, but make sure that the total amount of urine you urinate in one session exceeds 100 milliliters. Then take midstream urine and the results will be relatively reliable. If you have proteinuria, pay attention to eating less salt, soy products, fish, shrimp, seafood, and other foods,
Pay attention to diet for those with high urinary protein levels
1. Plant proteins contain a large amount of purine alkaloids, which increase the burden on kidney metabolism and should be used sparingly. Soy products, although high in protein content, should not be consumed by individuals with proteinuria.
2. According to the different types and conditions of proteinuria, different standard doses of protein diet should be adopted. For patients with nephritis, the normal dosage can generally be provided, with adults receiving 0.8-1.0g/kg per day. Recommend patients to choose proteins with high physiological value, such as eggs, dairy products, fish, lean meat, etc. For patients with nephrotic syndrome who have not experienced renal dysfunction, a high protein diet can be provided.
3. Kidney patients with normal urine output, oliguria, and renal failure should eat more vegetables and fruits to provide sufficient vitamins. If the patient's urine output decreases, especially when it is less than 500 milliliters per day, they should selectively consume vegetables and fruits.
The above is an answer to the question of how to adjust urine protein in routine urine tests. We hope it can be helpful to readers. The result of the urine routine test shows a ± sign for urine protein, indicating a high level of urine protein. Patients only need to pay more attention in their daily lives, such as having a light diet and avoiding fish, shrimp, seafood, and other foods.
