About test
What does Protein/Creatinine Ratio-Spot measure?
This test measures the amount of protein relative to creatinine in urine. It may help assess whether excess protein is being lost in the urine, which can be associated with kidney damage or certain health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or pregnancy-related concerns. Healthcare professionals may use it to evaluate kidney function, investigate protein in urine, or monitor known kidney disease. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other tests.
