🕒 Collection Instructions (Important)

1. Discard the first morning urine on Day 1
2. Collect all urine passed during the next 24 hours
3. Include the first morning urine of Day 2
4. Keep the container refrigerated or in a cool place during collection
5. Measure and record total urine volume

📊 Reference Range

🩺 Clinical Significance

• Mild elevation: Early renal disease, fever, exercise
• Moderate elevation: Chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy
• Severe elevation: Nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis

📌 Reporting Format (Example)

🧾 Sample Report Comment (Professional)

Twenty-four hour urine total protein is mildly elevated. Findings suggest proteinuria. Clinical correlation and nephrology evaluation are recommended.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Incomplete urine collection may cause inaccurate results
• Avoid strenuous exercise during collection period
• Urinary tract infection may falsely elevate protein levels

🧠 Commonly Advised With

• Serum creatinine
• eGFR
• Urine RME
• Urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR)

Specimen:
3 mL (2 mL min.) Serum from 1 SST. Ship refrigerated or frozen.

Stability:

Method:
CLIA / CMIA / ECLIA

Comment:
Measures total 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D (Vitamin D₂ + Vitamin D₃) level in serum. It is the best indicator of Vitamin D status.

Price:
(As per laboratory tariff)

Report:
Daily

Usage:
Vitamin D3 deficiency may result from inadequate sunlight exposure, poor dietary intake, malabsorption, liver or kidney disorders, or increased physiological demand. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in calcium and phosphorus homeostasis, bone mineralization, muscle function, and immune regulation. Deficiency may lead to osteomalacia, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, and increased fracture risk.

Clinical Significance

Anti-Thyroid Antibodies are autoantibodies produced against thyroid proteins, primarily thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (TG). The presence of these antibodies helps in diagnosing autoimmune thyroid disorders such as:

• Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
• Graves’ disease
• Monitoring thyroid dysfunction in patients with family history of autoimmune disorders

Common Indications

• Suspected autoimmune thyroid disease
• Unexplained hypo- or hyperthyroidism
• Family history of thyroid disorders
• Monitoring thyroid antibody levels during treatment
• Infertility evaluation related to thyroid autoimmunity

Reference Result

• Anti-TPO Antibody: < 35 IU/mL (Negative)
• Anti-TG Antibody: < 40 IU/mL (Negative)

Positive results suggest autoimmune thyroid disease; clinical correlation with thyroid function tests (TFTs) is recommended.

Interpretation

• Positive Anti-TPO / Anti-TG: Autoimmune thyroiditis, Graves’ disease
• Negative: Low likelihood of autoimmune thyroid disorder
