The 24 Hours Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio test is a diagnostic tool used to measure and compare the amount of protein and creatinine excreted in urine collected over a full 24-hour period. It helps evaluate kidney function by detecting abnormal protein loss (proteinuria), which may indicate conditions such as chronic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, hypertension, or diabetes-related kidney damage. Creatinine serves as a reference marker to correct for variations in urine concentration, providing a more accurate assessment than measuring protein alone. This test is often ordered to monitor kidney health, assess disease progression, and guide treatment decisions in patients at risk of renal disorders.
