| Core Tip |
The quantitation of proteinuria is of particular importance in the diagnosis and management of glomerulonephritides. The measurement of 24-h urinary protein excretion is the gold standard. However, it is cumbersome, time-consuming, and inconvenient for patients. The measurement of urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (uPCR) is the most popular alternative. Numerous studies have been conducted on the correlation of these two methods with conflicting results. We assessed the correlation and the degree of agreement between the two methods. We conclude that uPCR shows poor correlation and poor agreement with 24-h proteinuria. It must be interpreted with caution in an unselected group of glomerulopathies. |
