Urinary protein-creatinine ratio calculation formula

The ratio of urine protein to creatinine is a new and reliable method for monitoring the excretion of urine protein. There is often a certain amount of protein in the blood that is indispensable for human life activities. Some of the protein is filtered into the urine in the glomeruli of the kidneys, but it is also reabsorbed into the blood circulation in the renal tubules. Therefore, if the kidneys and ureters show disorders, a large amount of protein will leak out and become urine protein. Normal urinary tract urine has a certain amount of protein, normal urine routine examination qualitative negative, urine protein content as much as 0.15 grams per 24 hours or more called proteinuria, urine routine qualitative can show positive. Human urine protein continued to exist often represents kidney disease, so its calculation formula is 24 hours of urine protein divided by creatinine value, normal value is less than 0.1 to 0.2.
