The urine protein/creatinine ratio as a reliable indicator of 24-h urine protein excretion across different levels of renal function and proteinuria: the TUNARI prospective study
PCR is a suitable measure to be used as an indicator of 24-hUP at different levels of renal function, but may have limitations at higher levels of proteinuria. Analysis of PCR by proteinuria level found that agreement as well as sensitivity decreases at higher levels, but it maintains good specificity and is able to identify nephrotic range proteinuria.
