Total urinary protein was measured by five methods: BioRad Total Protein Test (TPT), pyrogallol red, benzethonium chloride, sulfosalicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and the results compared to those obtained by a method combining preparative ultrafiltration and the biuret reaction. TPT was linear to 1.5 g protein/l, the detection limit 0.0135 g/l, and it was 3-5 times more sensitive than the other methods. Within-day precision (CV) was 4.3%, (0.60 g/l), the day-to-day precision was 4.5%. The protein contents of 35 selected urine samples assigned to one of five groups according to their electrophoretic pattern were assayed by the five methods. No method accurately measured physiological proteinuria, but the values for light chain (Bence Jones), glomerular, tubular and overload proteinurias measured by TPT did not differ significantly from the biuret value. The other methods differed significantly for at least three groups. Alpha 1 acid glycoprotein slightly inhibited TPT, but peptones, amino acids, antibiotics or normal urine constituents had little or no effect. The TPT method has been automated (Kone Progress); normal 24-h urinary protein excretion was 36 mg/day (range 12-114), the protein creatinine ratio was 34 mg/g (12-106 mg/g).
