Correlation between the protein/creatinine ratio in spot urine and 24-hour urine protein.
INTRODUCTION Measurement of the protein content in a 24-hour urine sample is the definitive method of establishing the presence of abnormal proteinuria. However, the urine collection is cumbersome. The spot urine protein to creatinine ratio seems to be a reliable diagnostic tool for urine protein measurement. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to evaluate the spot urine protein/creatinine ratio against 24...
متن کاملComparison of spot urine protein creatinine ratio with 24 hour urine protein for estimation of proteinuria.
The objective of our study was to evaluate and standardise the method of spot (random) urine protein creatinine ratio (UP/C) for estimation of proteinuria. The study contained 241 study participants in a tertiary care hospital inclusive of 208 cases and 33 normal volunteers. The 24 hour urine protein estimation was done on 24 hour urine samples and UP/C ratio was calculated on random urine samp...
متن کاملCorrelation versus agreement; protein/creatinine ratio in spot urine and 24-hour urine protein.
Montero et al. do report the 95% limits on the Bland-Altman plot, perhaps the authors could have reported the 95% limits of agreement for a specific number of thresholds of proteinuria for example <300mg, <3.5 grams or >3.5 grams individually which would be useful for clini-cians trying to interpret spot urine pro-tein/creatinine ratio. I worry that readers of this excellent study may be left f...
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 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...
