Rabbit Urine Protein IgG — Mass Concentration
Measures the amount of IgG (immunoglobulin G) protein in rabbit urine. This is a specialized veterinary or research test and is not a routine human urine test.
["This test measures urinary IgG in a rabbit to help evaluate immune-related or kidney-related changes."]

What is this test?
This test measures the concentration of IgG, an antibody, in rabbit urine. It is a specialized laboratory test most often relevant to veterinary care or animal research.
Why might I need this test?
A veterinarian or researcher may order it when evaluating urinary inflammation, immune activity, or possible kidney-related changes in a rabbit. The result is interpreted alongside symptoms, other laboratory findings, and the rabbit's clinical condition.
How is the test performed?
A urine sample is collected and the amount of IgG protein in the sample is measured using a laboratory assay. The laboratory may report the result as a mass concentration, meaning the amount of IgG per unit volume of urine.
How do I prepare for the test?
Follow the veterinary or laboratory collection instructions, including whether a first-morning, timed, or other urine collection is required. Record the collection time and any collection method specified by the laboratory, and do not change the rabbit's diet or medication unless instructed.
Clinical interpretation
How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.
An increased amount of urinary IgG may be associated with immune-mediated inflammation or reduced kidney filtration barrier function, but it can also be influenced by urine concentration and collection conditions. A decreased or undetectable result is less commonly informative and should not be interpreted without the assay's detection limits. If this slug appeared on a human laboratory report, confirm the test name with the ordering laboratory because the wording is species-specific.
