nameProtein/Creatinine Qualitative in Urine by Test strip
descriptionCreatinine to protein ratios by urine test strip provide a simple way to rule out significant proteinuria using a random urine sample. [PMID: 18987264] This term is used to report ordinal results for the urine protein to creatinine ratio by test strip. Depending on the manufacturer, results may be reported as normal/abnormal, or normal/1+/2+, where abnormal and 1+/2+ indicate an elevated protein to creatinine ratio.
