objective: to determine the value of random urinary protein to creatinine ratio (upcr) for diagnosis of proteinuria in pregnant women with preeclampsia. preeclampsia is the most common complication of pregnancy and one of the main causes of maternal mortality. so, early diagnosis of preeclampsia is very important. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study 66 pregnant women suspected ...

BACKGROUND Proteinuria predicts poor renal and cardiovascular outcomes. Some guidelines recommend measuring proteinuria using albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR), while others recommend total protein:creatinine ratio (TPCR). AIM To compare renal outcomes and mortality in the populations identified by these different recommendations. DESIGN Retrospective longitudinal cohort study. METHODS Basel...

conclusions although our patient had ckd stage 4, but his condition has not deteriorated and remained constant and stable for several years only by control of blood pressure and usual treatment which prescribed for patients at this stage case presentation a 78-year-old man presented with stage 4 ckd for 7 years; the glomerular filtration rate (gfr) and creatinine levels remained constant despit...

BACKGROUND Proteinuria has been related to all-cause mortality, showing regression or progression. However, few studies have focused on the relationship between proteinuria changes and all-cause mortality. The main purpose of this paper is to examine the associations between proteinuria changes and all-cause mortality in people with diabetes or prediabetes. METHODS Dipstick proteinuria at bas...
