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.
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

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 test and found a larger amount of
protein.
A trace amount of
protein isn't a great concern if it isn't coupled with any other symptom or
test result;
protein may be present in the
urine for a variety of reasons especially a false positive reading of trace
protein if the
urine pH is slightly alkaline when dipsticks are used.
Protein in the
urine may be caused by infection, kidney disease, inflammation, autoimmune disease or high blood pressure; so a blood pressure
test would be a relevant
test.

Since normal kidneys allow very little albumin
