Moderate agreement between the spot albumin‒Creatinine ratio (ACR) and urine albumin (UA) among virally suppressed adults living with HIV in botswana: a cross sectional study
UA and ACR show moderate agreement overall. Optimal UA cutoffs differ slightly by sex, suggesting tailored thresholds may improve detection. Future studies should explore clinical indication(s) for using the ACR versus UA levels among PLWH.
