URINE PROTEIN & CREATININE RATIO

The Urine Protein and Creatinine Ratio test measures the amount of protein in the urine relative to the amount of creatinine, a waste product. This ratio helps assess kidney function and detect conditions such as proteinuria (excess protein in the urine), which can be a sign of kidney disease or other health issues.Preparation:No Special Preparation Required: No fasting or special preparations are needed. However, you should avoid strenuous exercise before the test, as it can temporarily increase protein levels in the urine.Procedure:A urine sample is collected, often as a spot sample (single collection).
