WCN25-532 VALIDATION OF URINE DIPSTICK CONVERSION FORMULA TO ALBUMIN CREATININE RATIO IN DETERMINING ALBUMINURIA IN CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE PATIENTS AT FATIMA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Albuminuria is a marker of kidney damage. Spot albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) is commonly used as an index of albuminuria, but in resource-limited settings, clinicians often rely on the inexpensive, convenient urinary dipstick to assess proteinuria. This current study evaluated the predictive accuracy of a urine dipstick protein conversion formula to ACR for albuminuria among Filipino Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients seen at the Fatima University Medical Center in Valenzuela and Antipolo.
