quantitative standard for macroalbuminuria

The ratio of urine protein to creatinine can correct for the effects of dilution and concentration of urine, providing a more accurate assessment. In general, normal people with a ratio of urine protein to creatinine less than 0.2, a ratio of urine protein to creatinine greater than 3, and a ratio of urine protein to creatinine greater than 3000mg/g per day usually indicate large proteinuria.

Large proteinuria may be a manifestation of kidney disease and systemic diseases, such as glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive kidney damage, etc.
