Explanation of Condition

Protein present in urine, found either from a urine dipstick test or a Microbiology, Culture & Sensitive (MC&S) test.

Guidance

If protein is present in the urine, a urine albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) test must be performed. Protein is found in people with a kidney disease called Ig Nephropathy, which is frequently undiagnosed as well as Glomerulonephritis. G-CSF can exacerbate this condition, hence the rationale. The donor must have a protein negative urine test to be medically cleared for donation to rule out the possibility of Ig Nephropathy and Glomerulonephritis. If the donor has proteinuria, the following algorithm must be followed:
