Understanding Protein/Creatinine Ratio in Mysore


What is Protein/Creatinine Ratio in Mysore?

The Protein/Creatinine Ratio test is used to evaluate kidney health by determining the levels of protein excreted in urine relative to creatinine, a waste product generated by muscle metabolism. . Available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Mysore, this helps in the diagnosis of kidney damage or diseases, among several other conditions that can affect kidney health. Consider getting tested if you are pregnant with a high risk of preeclampsia (a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure), are taking medications that may impact the kidneys, or if a child has high urine protein levels. The Protein/Creatinine Ratio test is frequently done as a screening test whenever a urinalysis is performed, which may be part of a routine physical, a pregnancy workup, an evaluation for a urinary tract infection, a hospital admission, or any situation where a doctor wants to assess the kidney function. 

A Random/Spot urine sample sample should be collected into a sterile container provided by the sample collection professional. Make sure that the sample collection container doesn't come in contact with your skin. Women are advised not to give the sample during the menstrual period unless prescribed. 

 

What does Protein/Creatinine Ratio measure?

The Protein/Creatinine Ratio test measures the amount of protein in the urine relative to the amount of creatinine, a waste product also found in the urine. This test is commonly done to assess kidney function and to detect kidney damage or disease. Normally, only a small amount of protein is present in the urine, but if the kidneys are impaired, they may allow more protein to pass through into the urine. By comparing the level of protein to creatinine, the Protein/Creatinine Ratio test provides a more nuanced assessment of how much protein is being excreted by the kidneys. Elevated levels of protein in the urine (proteinuria), can indicate various kidney conditions such as glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, renal hypertension etc. Monitoring the protein/ creatinine ratio helps doctors diagnose and manage these conditions, as well as assess the treatment response over time.
