What your result means

Low

Trace protein detected — may be benign in concentrated urine.

Trace protein can be normal in concentrated urine but can also be an early sign of kidney disease in older cats.

What to do:

Your vet may check a UP/C ratio, especially if your cat is over 10 years old or has elevated creatinine.

Feline urine protein: trace (0.5)

Normal

No protein detected — normal finding.

Protein is not normally present in cat urine. A negative result indicates healthy glomerular filtration.

What to do:

No action needed.

Feline urine protein: negative (0)

High

Protein detected in your cat's urine — may indicate kidney disease.

Proteinuria in cats is commonly associated with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Even low-grade proteinuria is significant in cats and is a negative prognostic factor for CKD progression.

What to do:

Your vet will quantify with a UP/C ratio. If persistent, an ACE inhibitor (benazepril) may be prescribed to reduce protein loss and slow CKD progression.
