COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF QUANTITATIVE PROTEIN MEASUREMENTS IN 8-12 AND 24 HOUR URINE SAMPLES FOR DIAGNOSIS OF PRE-ECLAMPSIA
ABSTRACT Background: In this study our purpose was to determine whether 8 and/or 12 hour urine total protein values correlate with the 24 hour value to confirm the diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. Methods: The study population included 70 inpatients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Patient's urine was collected over 24 hours with the first 8 hours, next 4 hours, and remaining 12 hours in s...
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 کاملCorrelation 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 کاملRE: Dipstick Spot urine pH does not accurately represent 24 hour urine PH measured by an electrode
OBJECTIVES To determine whether spot urine pH measured by dipstick is an accurate representation of 24 hours urine pH measured by an electrode. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed urine pH results of patients who presented to the urology stone clinic. For each patient we recorded the most recente pH result measured by dipstick from a spot urine sample that preceded the result of...
