Aim: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of spot urine protein-creatinine ratio for detection of proteinuria in Preeclampsia. Methods: Cross Sectional Descriptive Study was conducted in a total of 38 pregnant women in Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital in study period of 3 month. The correlation between protein- creatinine ratio in spot urine samples and urinary protein excretion in 24-hour collections were analyzed. Results: Comparison of 24 hours urinary protein and protein- creatinine ratio in women with preeclampsia shows a significant correlation (r=0.911, p<0.0001). The cut-off protein-creatinine ratios which gave maximum area under the curve for 300mg protein for 24hrs was 0.27 (sensitivity: 94.6%, specificity: 100%, PPV: 100%, NPV: 33.3%); 2000 mg urine protein excretion was 2.1 (sensitivity and specificity of 100%); 3000mg protein excreted for 24hours was 3.0 (sensitivity: 83.3%, specificity: 92.3%, PPV: 83.3%, NPV: 93.3%. Area under the ROC for 24hours urine total protein of >300mg, >2000mg and >3000mg/day were 0.946 (95%CI 0.873-1.019), 1 (95% CI 1.00-1.00) and 0.957 (95%CI 0.897- 1.016) respectively. Conclusions: Spot urine protein-creatinine ratio is as accurate as to 24 hours urine protein determination of proteinuria in Preeclampsia.

Background: The measurement of albumin: creatinine ratio (ACR) in a spot urine sample avoids the influence of variation in urinary solute concentration and provides a more convenient and rapid method to assess protein excretion. The aim of this study was to evaluate urinary spot ACR as a new marker for proteinuria and to study its correlation and accuracy in comparison with 24-hour urinary protein.Methods: The prospective one-year study was conducted on 100 pregnant women, 18-40 years, >20 weeks gestation with a diagnosis of preeclampsia. A spot midstream urine sample was taken for detection of albuminuria by dipstick method. Another spot sample was taken for detection and calculation of spot ACR. The 24-hour urine collection was taken immediately afterward to evaluate 24-hour urinary protein excretion.Results: A positive linear relation exists between ACR and 24-hour urinary protein excretion The ROC revealed cut-off of 20.4 with 88.5% sensitivity, 75% specificity, 98.8% positive predictive value and 21.4% negative predictive value. Spot urinary ACR >20.4 correctly identified women having 24-hour urinary protein excretion in excess of 0.3 gm/DL.Conclusions: A strong correlation exists between single spot urinary ACR with 24-hour urinary protein excretion in women with preeclampsia.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of the random urine P/C ratio to predict significant proteinuria, as well as to introduce a diagnostic test for pre-eclampsia which will avoid the inconvenience and time consumption of 24-hour urine protein collection. The objective of this study was to compare spot urine protein- creatinine ratio with 24-hour urine protein for estimation of proteinuria in pre-eclampsia.Methods: A total of 50 pregnant women with pre-eclampsia were prospectively studied for proteinuria in Rajarajeswari medical college and Hospital Bangalore for a period of 9 months from September 2018 to May 2019. Spot urine specimens for measuring P/C ratio were obtained immediately before 24-hour urine collection. The correlation between the spot urine P/C ratio and urinary protein excretion in the 24-hour collections was examined using the Spearman correlation test.Results: PCR at a cut off value 0.15 g/mmol had sensitivity and specificity of 96.6% and 55% respectively. In prediction of proteinuria of 300 mg/24 hr positive predictive value and negative predictive value 76.3% and 91.6% respectively.Conclusions: We found that there was a strong correlation between 24-hour urine protein excretion and spot urine protein creatinine ratio in pre-eclamptic women. Spot PCR can be used as a reasonable alternative to 24-hour urine protein test which is a cumbersome.

Background: Quantification of proteinuria is usually predicted upon 24-hour urine collection. Multiple factors influence urine collection and the rate of protein and creatinine excretion. A spot urine protein-creatinine (P-C) ratio has been shown over the years to be a reliable alternative to the 24-hour collection for detection and follow up of proteinuria. The objective of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of urine protein creatinine ratio (UP/UC) in a spot sample for quantitative measurement of proteinuria in comparison with 24 hours urinary protein excretion in children of nephrotic syndrome having normal Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). Methodology: This was a prospective study conducted in the department of paediatrics, Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital Dhaka over a period of six months from January 2003. Fifty cases of Nephrotic syndrome were included who were on initial attack and relapse cases noted down into the proforma with respect to history, examination and investigation. All the patients were advised regarding 24 hours urine collection. They were asked to give a 24 hours urine sample starting at 9.00 am for total protein excretion rate. A spot urine sample was obtained and urine protein/creatinine ratio was calculated. The data was analyzed by linear regression and by calculating the correlation coefficient between urinary protein/ creatinine ratio and 24-hour urinary protein. Results: Sample size was fifty. Urine total protein in a timed 24-hour sample of nephrotic syndrome patients was in the range of 300-3150mg/m2/hour with the mean value of 1725 mg/m2/hour. While as U(Pr/Cr) ratio ranged from 3.1-27.5 with the mean value of 15.2. A significant correlation was found between timed 24-hour urinary protein and UP/UC ratio (r=0.622, p=<.001.) Conclusions: Spot urine protein-creatinine ratio is highly reliable and rapid test for quantification of proteinuria in children with nephrotic syndrome.

Abstract Background Quantification of proteinuria in kidney transplant recipients is important for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. Apart from correlation tests, there have been few evaluations of spot urine protein measurements in kidney transplantation. Methods In this cross-sectional study involving 151 transplanted patients, we investigated measures of agreement (bias and accuracy) between the estimated protein excretion rate (ePER), determined from the protein-to-creatinine ratio in the first and second morning urine, and 24-h proteinuria and studied their performance at different levels of proteinuria. Measures of agreement were reanalyzed in relation to allograft histology in 76 patients with kidney biopsies performed for cause before enrolment in the study. Results For ePER in the first morning urine, percent bias ranged from 1 to 28% and accuracy (within 30% of 24-h collection) ranged from 56 to 73%. For the second morning urine, percent bias ranged from 2 to 11%, and accuracy ranged from 71 to 78%. The accuracy of ePER (within 30%) in first and second morning urine progressively increased from 56 and 71% for low-grade proteinuria (150–299 mg/day) to 60 and 74% for moderate proteinuria (300–999 mg/day), and to 73 and 78% for high-grade proteinuria (≥1000 mg/day). Measures of agreement were similar across histologic phenotypes of allograft injury. Conclusions The ability of ePER to accurately predict 24-h proteinuria in kidney transplant recipients is modest. However, accuracy improves with an increase in proteinuria. Given the similar accuracy of ePER measurements in first and second morning urine, second morning urine can be used to monitor protein excretion.

Objectives: To determine diagnostic accuracy of spot urine Protein to creatinineratio for detection of diabetic nephropathy taking 24-hour urinary protein as gold standard.Study Design: cross sectional. Settings: Medical and Radiology department of Allied hospitalFaisalabad. Duration: 12-12-2013 to 12-06-2014. Sample size: 134. Material & Methods: Itwas a cross-sectional study done in Medical Unit I, Allied Hospital Faisalabad. 134 patients withsuspicion of diabetic nephropathy were included. 24-hour urine sample collected by instructingpatients to begin collection immediately after completion of first voiding in morning and tocollect all urine into same container having 5mL of 10% thymol in iso-propanol as a preservativefor 24-hours. This was thoroughly mixed, 2mL was taken for evaluation of proteins. P.C ratiowas calculated by dividing Urinary Protein concentration by Urinary Creatinine concentration.Results: The mean age of patients was noted as 55.11±6.79 years. There were 62.7% maleand 37.3% female patients. Mean PC ratio of the patients was noted as 0.21±0.07. Sensitivityof PC ratio was noted as 95.2%, whereas specificity was 76.5%, PPV 86.8%, NPV 90.7% withdiagnostic accuracy of 88.1%. Conclusion: The study results showed that PC
