An infant with generalized swelling

An 11 month old infant weighing 10 kg presents to the emergency room with generalized edema after development of an upper respiratory tract infection. Blood work shows a serum albumin of 15 g/L, cholesterol of 9.2 mmol/L. What would you expect the lowest urinary protein level to be if you could collect a 24 hour urine?
