The Protein Creatinine Ratio – Random Urine test measures protein levels relative to creatinine in urine to assess kidney function and detect protein loss.
The Protein Creatinine Ratio – Random Urine test is used to evaluate the amount of protein excreted in urine by comparing it with creatinine levels in a single urine sample. This ratio provides an accurate estimate of protein loss without the need for a 24-hour urine collection.
Normally, only small amounts of protein are present in urine. Elevated levels may indicate kidney damage or disease, such as glomerulonephritis or diabetic nephropathy.
The purpose of this test is to
