If the source is thought to be the kidneys, a follow - up test called a urine
protein creatinine ratio is performed.
Multiple assessments of a pet's
protein creatinine ratio may be necessary before a diagnosis of excessive protein in the urine is made.
The most sensitive tests currently available are the microalbuminuria test offered by Heska and the Urine
Protein Creatinine (Urine P: C) Ratio offered by Idexx.
Take the next step and get additional testing done (e.g., the quantitative C6 test) and a special urine test [urine
protein creatinine (UPC)-RSB- to look for protein loss in the urine.

The growth rates were similar, but the high -
protein infants had high levels of toxins from
protein breakdown in their blood (urea and
creatinine).
He also had extremely high levels of
creatinine (a by - product of the breakdown of phosphocreatine, an energy - storage molecule in muscle) normally eliminated by the kidneys and extremely elevated levels of BUN (blood urea nitrogen), which measures the amount of the waste product urea (a by - product of
protein digestion).
Elevated levels of
creatinine in the blood — which indicates how well the kidneys are filtering waste — and high
protein levels in urine — a condition called proteinuria — can alert clinicians that an individual is suffering from chronic kidney disease.
The key safety endpoints were changes in hip and spine bone mineral density (a measure of minerals mainly calcium in bones), changes in serum
creatinine (a waste product in blood that is removed by healthy kidneys) and dipstick proteinuria (
protein excreted in urine).
Clinical chemistry evaluation included alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total
protein, albumin, globulin, albumin / globulin (A / G) ratio, blood urea nitrogen (BUN),
creatinine, BUN /
creatinine ratio, glucose, sodium, potassium, and chloride.
The
creatinine levels of vegetarians are usually lower than those of people who eat meat, since animal
protein contributes to the blood
creatinine level.
Since the liver is most responsible for creating
protein and breaking
protein down in the body, when it's not functioning properly, it's efficiency at managing
protein is damaged and
creatinine levels in the blood go down.
We have some kidney markers /
protein markers including BUN and
creatinine.
So if you are having a BUN level that is low, or the BUN:
creatinine ratio, the BUN:
creatinine ratio is low, you might have just a simple issue like not enough
protein in the diet.
Are you looking at globulin,
creatinine, serum
protein, albumin?
An increase in dietary
protein has been associated with an increase in
creatinine clearance in subjects with normal kidney function.
The relation between
protein consumption and diurnal variations of the endogenous
creatinine clearance in normal individuals
The ratios of urine urea to
creatinine with the high -
protein and control diets were ≈ 14 ± 1.3 and ≈ 7 ± 0.7 at week 1 and remained relatively stable throughout the 5 - wk intervention period.
In a population - based study (48) and in a 6 - mo outpatient study (49), an increased dietary
protein intake was not associated with an increase in
creatinine clearance.
Doubling the
protein content of the diet resulted in a doubling of the urea -
creatinine ratio by week 1.
The urinary
creatinine clearance was 122 ± 11 and 113 ± 27 mL / min after 5 wk of the control and high -
protein diets, respectively.
The bottom line is that in healthy individuals, increased
protein intake causes an increase in the kidneys ability to deal with
creatinine and BUN.
Serum total and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, total
proteins, total bilirubin, iron, glucose, uric acid,
creatinine, and liver enzymes such as alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, and γ - glutamyltransferase were measured by enzymatic - colorimetric methods.
The amounts of
creatinine in the blood and
protein in the urine were also lower in the hemp and soya groups.
Also, the higher
protein group saw no detrimental effect in in kidney function as measured by
creatinine clearance.
Some studies on vegetarian diets have shown increased risk of
protein deficiency, iron deficiency, decreased muscle
creatinine, and elevated blood levels of homocysteine.
My endocrinologist told me to lay off of the
protein powder and my Primary Dr told me to stop taking creatine because my kidney function was poor —
Creatinine at 1.50 mg / dL (I am vegetarian and was finding it difficult to get in
protein, so I got a vegan
protein powder).
They're below; — Haemoglobin 115 / gL (normal range listed as 130 - 175)-- RBC 3.48 x10e12 / L (optimal range 4.30 — 6.00)-- HCT 0.34 L / L (optimal range 0.40 — 0.50)--

One measured fluid, electrolyte, and renal indices of hydration over eleven days of caffeine consumption in human subjects, finding that doses of up to 6 mg caffeine per kilogram of body weight had no effect on body mass, urine osmolality (urine concentration), urine specific gravity (concentration of excreted materials in urine), urine color, urine volume, sodium excretion, potassium secretion,
creatinine content, blood urea nitrogen (forms when
protein breaks down), and serum levels of sodium and potassium.
The more
protein that is consumed, the higher the levels of BUN and
creatinine in the blood, which are the prime indicators of kidney disease in dogs.
I would recommend that your vet check urine analysis for
protein loss in urine as well as a specific test known as urine
protein /
creatinine ratio to see if early kidney disease present, which is the ONLY real risk from chronic lyme disease.
I would continue to follow her urine
protein /
creatinine ratio, which is MUCH more important than some sort of quantifying lyme diagnosis test, as the urine
protein /
creatinine ratio can pick up early kidney problems, which can occur on rare occasions in dogs, especially Goldens who have been exposed to lyme disease.
These three measurements: CR level, urine
protein -
creatinine ratio, and the blood pressure reading are used to «stage» a patient according to the IRIS system (International Renal Interest Society).
A special urine test called a urine
protein and
creatinine ratio is also important which determines if an excess of
protein is being lost through the urine by a diseased kidney.
The bottom line of all of this lyme hubra is that all veterinarians should really be doing on their lyme positive dogs, is monitoring periodically urine
protein /
creatinine ratios on the urines of dogs to pick up early
protein loss in urine which RARELY happens on dogs exposed to lyme disease i.e called Immune glomerulonephropathy; All of the other fancy tests, etc that are constantly being redone and over or misinterpreted are a waste of time in my opinion and experience.
Protein in the urine can be caused by a variety of different conditions; if you are looking for non or minimal invasive procedures then ultrasound isn't invasive and can tell your Veterinarian a lot about the internal structure of the kidney's and any abnormalities, also a regular blood test (just taken with a needle from the fore leg) with biochemistry will give a good indication about protein levels in the blood more importantly the albumin to globulin ratio as well as creatinine and urea which will help to determine Sebastian's internal

Blood urea nitrogen and
creatinine are both metabolic
protein wastes that the kidneys filter from the blood.
Urinalysis may reveal proteinuria that can be semiquantitated by a urine
protein:
creatinine ratio.
Urine
protein /
creatinine ratios are checked to see a more accurate measurement of how well the kidneys are able to manage their workload
Naturally, the more dilute the specimen is, the less
protein will be in it and measuring the urine
creatinine content adjusts for that.
After a physical exam, most order a combination of these tests: a complete blood count (CBC), biochemical panel, urinalysis,
protein - to -
creatinine ratio in the urine and bacterial urine culture.
The UPCR test compares the amount of
protein found in your pet's urine to the amount of
creatinine found in the urine specimen.
The cautions on interpretation of the results are the same as the urine
protein - to -
creatinine ratio / UPCR test.
Like
creatinine, urea nitrogen comes from the rearrangement and breakdown of
protein in your pet's tissues (particularly the liver) as well as the
protein in your pets diet.
The standard preop tests (AP, BUN,
Creatinine, GGT, Glucose, total
protein and CBC) do not focused on those causes.)
Since normal kidneys allow very little albumin
protein in your pet's blood to escape into its urine, there are tests that check for its increased presence without comparing it to the amount of
creatinine that is present.
Fever, heavy exercise, generalized inflammations, blood in the urine, seizures and various forms of stress occasionally caused urine
protein and
creatinine levels to rise as well.
Packed cell volume, total
protein, blood urea nitrogen, and
creatinine in relation to USG may all be evaluated as part of this assessment.
Creatinine is a
protein metabolite of muscle that tends to rise and fall in tandem with BUN.
