INTRODUCTION International guidelines have endorsed spot urine protein-to-creatinine ratio of >30 mg protein/mmol creatinine as an alternative to a 24-hour urine sample to represent significant proteinuria. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of spot urine protein-to-creatinine ratio in predicting significant proteinuria and adverse pregnancy outcome. METHODS This case series was condu...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the accuracy of the protein/creatinine ratio in predicting 300 mg of protein in 24-hour urine collection in pregnant patients with suspected preeclampsia. DATA SOURCES Articles were identified through electronic databases (MEDLINE, CINHAL, and Cochrane) using the terms "preeclampsia," "protein/creatinine ratio," and "diagnosis," during the period January 1966 to October ...

background because of difficulty in obtaining a 24-hour urine collection in children, a random sample of urine is often used to calculate the urinary calcium to creatinine ratio. urinary calcium excretion might be influenced by genetic, geographic area, etc. in this study, the value of urinary calcium, creatinine, sodium and potassium excretion and age–related reference values for urine calcium...
