Prediction of albumin excretion rate from albumin-to-creatinine ratio

Albumin excretion rate among patients with diabetic retinopathy

Urine albumin to creatinine ratio-response to exercise in diabetes.

Albuminuria was studied in 40 diabetic children before and after a standardised exercise test, and also in 21 normal children; the results are expressed as geometric mean (95% range) of urine albumin:urine creatinine ratio (mg/mg). There was no significant difference between the mean resting albumin:creatinine ratio in the two groups, or between these ratios before and after exercise in the nor...

Comparison of urinary albumin-creatinine ratio and albumin excretion rate in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications study.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to compare random urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) with timed urine albumin excretion rate (AER) in patients with type 1 diabetes. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS A total of 1186 participants in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) Study prov...

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 ...
