Random 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...

Proteinuria measurement and urine-based markers for preeclampsia diagnosis

Quantification 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...

correlation of random urinary protein to creatinine ratio in 24-hour urine samples of pregnant women with preeclampsia.

objective: to determine the value of random urinary protein to creatinine ratio (upcr) for diagnosis of proteinuria in pregnant women with preeclampsia. preeclampsia is the most common complication of pregnancy and one of the main causes of maternal mortality. so, early diagnosis of preeclampsia is very important. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study 66 pregnant women suspected ...

Estimation of Daily Proteinuria in Patients with Amyloidosis by Using the Protein-To-Creatinine ratio in Random Urine Samples

Measurement of daily proteinuria in patients with amyloidosis is recommended at the time of diagnosis for assessing renal involvement, and for monitoring disease activity. Renal involvement is usually defined by proteinuria >500 mg/day. We evaluated the accuracy of the random urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (Pr/Cr) in predicting 24 hour proteinuria in patient with amyloidosis. We compared res...
