Assessing proteinuria in chronic kidney disease: protein-creatinine ratio versus albumin-creatinine ratio.
BACKGROUND Quantification of proteinuria is important in the assessment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this study was to investigate the optimal test to identify significant proteinuria. METHODS We retrospectively assessed the relationship between total protein:creatinine ratio (TPCR), albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) and 24-h urine total protein in 6842 patients with CKD focusing ...
متن کاملRandom urine protein/creatinine ratio readily predicts proteinuria in preeclampsia
OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic accuracy of random urine protein-creatinine (P/C) ratio for prediction of significant proteinuria in preeclampsia as an alternative to the time-consuming 24-hour urine protein collection. METHODS Retrospective record analysis was performed on 140 pregnant women who were admitted with suspicion for preeclampsia from January 2006 to June 2011. Random urine pro...
متن کاملQuantification of proteinuria by urine protein/creatinine ratio.
Quantification of proteinuria by the collection of 24 hour urine sample is inconvenient and often unreliable due to the difficulty in accurately collecting a complete 24 hour sample in children. These problems suggest need for a more convenient and accurate method of urine protein estimation particularly in the outpatient setting(1). UP/UC ratio is a semiquantitative method for the estimation o...
متن کاملUrinary protein/creatinine ratio versus 24-hour proteinuria in the evaluation of lupus nephritis.
INTRODUCTION The urinary protein/creatinine ratio has been used instead of 24-hour proteinuria in Nephrology practice for the follow-up of glomerular diseases, considering the advantages of collection and the low cost. However, there are still doubts as to its applicability both for an isolated evaluation and for the follow-up of patients with lupus nephritis. OBJECTIVE To evaluate 24-hour pr...
متن کاملPitfalls of the urinary albumin creatinine ratio in detection of early diabetic kidney disease.
Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is the leading cause of kidney disease world-wide, for which albuminuria is the currently accepted biomarker. Despite the increased use of glucose-lowering medications and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, prevalence of DKD continues to rise in proportion to the prevalence of diabetes 1 . Development of chronic kidney disease in patients with ...
