Re: Protein in urine

It is not really important which cell or organ. There are specific
protein assays that can be used in evaluating diseases that may
produce an increase in a specific protein. One initially does a screen
for all proteins and subsequent testing can divide or test for
specific proteins. Apart from the total protein test, the albumin test
is one of those specific proteins. It is common to have a total
protein and albumin performed.


Should read, as Jeff mentioned, protein is used in evaluating disease
that may increase or decrease proteins. Protein electrophoresis can
detect alterations in protein fractions in general terms.
