Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a urine protein collection container. Background Technology

[0002] Proteinuria refers to the presence of abnormal amounts of protein in urine. Normally, the protein content in urine is very low. However, when the permeability of the glomerular filtration membrane increases or the renal tubular reabsorption function is impaired, protein leaks from the blood into the urine, leading to elevated urine protein levels. The presence of proteinuria is often a signal of kidney disease or other health problems. Proteinuria can reflect the degree of glomerular and tubular damage and the increase in glomerular filtration rate, and has special value in the screening, diagnosis, follow-up, and prognosis of kidney diseases.

[0003] The collection of urine protein is mainly for the purpose of 24-hour urine protein quantification, which is an important method to assess the excretion of urine protein. By collecting all urine within 24 hours and measuring the protein content, the total protein content within 24 hours can be calculated, thereby assisting in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of kidney diseases.

[0004] Current 24-hour urine protein collection methods require collecting all urine within 24 hours, starting from the initial time. Each urination requires emptying the bladder completely, collecting the urine in one container, and then pouring it into a prepared container. This urine collection is somewhat inconvenient, as splashing can easily occur. Furthermore, the accuracy of urine protein testing depends on a clean urine sample. If blood, mucus, pus, or other substances are accidentally mixed into the urine sample, it can cause an increase in urine protein levels and result in a false positive.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a urine protein collection container that facilitates the collection of urine over 24 hours and provides better preservation of urine. Utility Model Content
