About this test
Why Protein in Urine Matters
Protein is normally kept in the body rather than lost through urine. A higher protein to creatinine ratio may suggest that more protein is passing into the urine than expected.
This can be relevant when monitoring kidney related health, especially in cats with increased thirst, more frequent urination, appetite changes, weight changes or low energy.
Common Signs Linked to Kidney Concerns
Cats with kidney related issues may experience:
Increased thirst
Increased urination
Reduced appetite

Kidney related changes may also be present before clear symptoms are noticed.

Frequently asked questions
Why measure the protein to creatinine ratio in urine?
The urine protein to creatinine ratio can help show whether increased protein loss is present in the urine, which may be relevant when monitoring kidney related health.
Why is kidney monitoring especially relevant for older cats?
Kidney related changes are more common as cats age, and early changes may not always cause obvious symptoms.
Can kidney related changes be present before symptoms appear?
Yes. Some kidney related changes may develop gradually, and urine marker testing can provide useful first information before clear signs are noticed.
