Protein/Creatinine Ratio-24 hrs

This test compares the amount of protein in urine with creatinine over a 24-hour period. It may help assess whether the kidneys are allowing more protein than expected to pass into urine. Healthcare professionals may use it when evaluating possible kidney damage or monitoring kidney conditions, including those associated with diabetes, high blood pressure, or pregnancy. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings.
