| Guide for use: | CODE 1 Negative for protein Negative for proteinuria - less than 1 plus on dipstick-testing or excretion of 300 mg or less of protein from 24-hour urine collection. CODE 1.1 Microalbuminuria present Microalbuminuria present CODE 1.2 Microalbuminuria not present Microalbuminuria not present CODE 1.3 Microalbuminuria not tested Microalbuminuria not tested CODE 2 Proteinuria Proteinuria - one or more pluses of protein in dipstick urinalysis or for a 24-hour urine collection, where the patient excretes more than 300 mg/per day of protein. CODE 3 Not tested Not tested - no urinalysis for proteinuria was taken. |

| Collection methods: | Where laboratory testing is used to determine Proteinuria status the categorisation must be substantiated by clinical documentation such as an official laboratory report. |

Collection and usage attributes | |
| Collection methods: | Dipstick testing can be used to test for protein in a urine specimen. Proteinuria (i.e. excessive protein in the urine) on dipstick urinalysis is described as one or more pluses of protein and for a 24-hour urine collection where the patient excretes more than 300 mg/day of protein. Microalbuminuria can be determining using any one of the following tests: spot urine, timed urine (24-hour collection) or albumin/creatinine ratio. Although the presence of microalbuminuria does not warrant categorisation as proteinuria, it is clinically significant in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. |

| Comments: | In settings where the monitoring of a person's health is ongoing and where a measure can change over time (such as general practice), the Patient—diagnosis date, DDMMYYYY should be recorded. |
