A patient-level meta-analysis found urinary albumin-creatinine ratio was a slightly stronger predictor of kidney failure than urinary protein-creatinine ratio, especially in patients with high-risk ...

What is the best method to use when quantifying proteinuria in children and adults: 24-hour urine collections for total protein, random urine protein:creatinine ratio or microalbumin:creatinine ratio?

Practitioners who measure only urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio may be able to use a new albumin-to-creatinine ratio estimating equation to diagnose and manage kidney disease. Researchers have ...

Kidney diseases are alarmingly increasing, now the ninth leading cause of death. Dr. Arjun Sabharwal highlights crucial tests like eGFR, Cystatin C, urine dipstick, and protein-to-creatinine ratio to ...
