Comparison of urine dipstick and albumin:creatinine ratio for chronic kidney disease screening: A population-based study
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is usually diagnosed using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or kidney damage markers. The urine dipstick test is a widely used screening tool for albuminuria, a CKD marker. Although the urine albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) has advantages over the dipstick test in sensitivity and quantification of levels, the two methods have not been compared in the g...
متن کاملAssessing 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 کاملErratum to: screening for chronic kidney disease of uncertain aetiology in Sri Lanka: usability of surrogate biomarkers over dipstick proteinuria
BACKGROUND The use of dipstick proteinuria to screen Chronic Kidney Disease of uncertain aetiology (CKDu) in Sri Lanka is a recently debated matter of dispute. The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of biomarkers: serum creatinine, cystatin C and urine albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) for screening CKDu in Sri Lanka. METHODS Forty-four male CKDu patients and 49 healthy males fro...
متن کاملDipstick analysis for screening of paediatric urine.
The examination of. urine specimens constitutes a major portion of the work of a clinical microbiology laboratory. Although the prevalence of urinary tract infection varies for different patient populations, most urine specimens are culture negative. In this laboratory only 12% of paediatric urines show evidence of urinary tract infection. The availability of a rapid reliable screening test for...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of urine dipstick for proteinuria in older outpatients
BACKGROUND The urine dipstick is widely used as an initial screening tool for the evaluation of proteinuria; however, its diagnostic accuracy has not yet been sufficiently evaluated. Therefore, we evaluated its diagnostic accuracy using spot urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) and total protein/creatinine ratio (PCR) in proteinuria. METHODS Using PCR ≥0.2 g/g or ≥0.5 g/g and ACR ≥300 mg/g or...
