24 HOURS URINE PROTIEN AND CREATININE RATIO

The urine protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) test plays a vital role in evaluating kidney function by measuring protein and creatinine levels in urine. Creatinine, a byproduct of muscle metabolism, reflects the body’s energy utilization. Normally, healthy kidneys efficiently filter waste products like creatinine from the blood, eliminating them through urine. By analyzing the ratio of protein to creatinine in urine, healthcare providers gain insights into kidney health. Abnormal UPCR results aid in diagnosing conditions that potentially harm the kidneys. Additionally, this test is instrumental in monitoring treatment effectiveness. Depending on UPCR outcomes, further tests or treatments may be recommended to manage kidney-related issues effectively.
