Abstract:Objective This study aimed to assess the reliability of the spot urine protein/creatinine (sP/Cr) ratio for evaluating proteinuria across different ranges and renal functions. Methods In this retrospective study, we analyzed 24-hour urine protein excretion (24 h UP) and sP/Cr measurements in 216 patients with renal disease. Pearson correlation and Bland–Altman analyses were performed to evaluate the correlation and agreement between 24 h UP and the sP/Cr. Results The patients were categorized into the followin… Show more
