The objective of our study was to evaluate and standardise the method of spot (random) urine protein creatinine ratio (UP/C) for estimation of proteinuria. The study contained 241 study participants in a tertiary care hospital inclusive of 208 cases and 33 normal volunteers. The 24 hour urine protein estimation was done on 24 hour urine samples and UP/C ratio was calculated on random urine samp...

Montero et al. do report the 95% limits on the Bland-Altman plot, perhaps the authors could have reported the 95% limits of agreement for a specific number of thresholds of proteinuria for example <300mg, <3.5 grams or >3.5 grams individually which would be useful for clini-cians trying to interpret spot urine pro-tein/creatinine ratio. I worry that readers of this excellent study may be left f...

Abstract The state of the protein, carbohydrate-lipid and mineral metabolism, as well functional parenchymal organs using drug Introvit-EC-100 Oral ascorbic acid to correct hyperthermia in ducks are under study. It was established that all studied groups there a high content total due dehydration loss liquid component blood during hyperthermia. Ducks experimental showed significant decrease pro...

OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to compare the success of spot urine protein/creatinine ratio in predicting 24-h proteinuria with different variables such as sampling time and wait before analysis.MATERIAL AND METHODS: included 100 pregnant women who were tested for their protein levels simultaneously checked upon admission our clinic a complaint high blood pressure between March 2014 Decembe...

Nephropathy occurs in 10±40% of patients who have Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus [1±3]. The development diabetic nephropathy cannot be explained by poor glycaemic control alone. Objectives: To determine the frequency, association with gender, correlation duration urea and creatinine, co morbidity, socioeconomic status renal disease patients. Methods: study was carried out Mayo Hos...

et al., 1967; Zorab et al., 1970). Allison, Walker, and Smith (1966) showed that the ratio of total hydroxyproline to creatinine in a 24-hour collection of urine gives more consistent results than measurement of hydroxyproline alone, an observation which has been extended to random samples of urine collected during waking hours (Howells, Wharton, and McCance, 1967; Younoszai et al., 1969). Whar...
