URINE FOR SPOT PROTEIN & CREATININE RATIO

The spot urine protein-to-creatinine (P/C) ratio is a pivotal metric in identifying proteinuria, an abnormal increase in protein levels in the urine. A commonly reported threshold is a P/C ratio greater than 20 mg/mmol (0.2 mg/mg), signifying the presence of notable proteinuria. For more definitive diagnosis, a higher P/C ratio exceeding 350 mg/mmol (3.5 mg/mg) is considered indicative of nephrotic proteinuria, suggesting a more severe renal issue. Interpreting these P/C ratios is vital for Hypro Diagnostics in effectively assessing and addressing kidney-related conditions.
