Home urine tests

I was wondering if there are any reliable home urine tests to measure creatinine and protein in urine. So hard to know if these are reliable and give good results. My urine just looks different after having covid. Thank you

Urinalysis strips bought from various sources online eg Valutest from Williams Medical, will indicate protein and creatinine if sufficiently high. But urine tests done in clinics appear to be more sensitive. With my mum, urinalysis indicates protein = Neg but (increasing) values at lower levels are detected in labs via GP.

Thank you. I don't see my doctor until August but just wanted to test now. Will try one you mentioned. Thanks again

Your best and most reliable bet is a 24 hr. urine test that your doctor orders or you purchase online yourself. There are several companies to order from. Hope that helps!
