Know More about PROTEIN CREATININE RATIO, URINE
The UPCR test is a simple urine sample test that detects an excess of protein in the urine, which can be an early signal that kidney problems could be occurring. The UPCR test helps physicians detect early kidney damage and monitor chronic renal conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Early detection leads to an earlier treatment option which also improves future complications.
Process
- The UPCR test only requires a one-time urine sample (morning or random).
- The laboratory will analyze the urine sample and report the protein and creatinine separately.
- The urine protein creatinine ratio is calculated from the data provided to obtain the less invasive approach of measuring daily protein loss.
When to Get Tested
Anyone with diabetes, high blood pressure, and family history of kidney disease should regularly consider this UTMR test. It is also recommended if there are symptoms of kidney problems detected or during a pregnancy to evaluate for complications like preeclampsia.
Sample Type
A midstream urine specimen collected into a sterile container.
Test preparation
You do not have to prepare specially, but avoiding heavy exercise, dehydration, or certain foods before the test may help to ensure accurate results.
Understanding Your Results
A normal UPCR is less than 0.2 mg/mg. Increased levels of protein may suggest kidney damage and the possibility of needing follow-up or additional testing. Occasionally, a repeat UPCR may be needed to confirm protein levels in the urine are persistently high.
