    What is Protein Creatinine Ratio, Urine Test?

    The Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio (UPCR) test is an important diagnostic tool that provides crucial insights into kidney health. By measuring the levels of protein and creatinine (a waste product formed by muscle activity) in a urine sample, this test helps identify and monitor conditions related to kidney function. Normally, healthy kidneys filter waste products like creatinine, which are then expelled from the body through urine. However, an increase in protein levels in the urine, indicated by a higher UPCR, can suggest possible kidney damage. This test is essential not only for diagnosing kidney diseases but also for monitoring treatment effectiveness in conditions that could compromise kidney health, such as hypertension, diabetes, preeclampsia, and autoimmune disorders.

    If you're in Mumbai and your doctor has ordered a Urine PCR test, you should complete it promptly to detect health risks early and facilitate timely, effective treatment.

    Protein Creatinine Ratio, Urine Test Parameters

    The Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio test assesses the following three parameters in urine: ● Protein ● Creatinine ● Protein/creatinine ratio

    The kidneys are crucial to the urinary system, filtering waste products like creatinine from the blood so they can be eliminated through urine. They also oversee the filtration and reabsorption of important proteins that are vital for maintaining bodily functions like fluid regulation and immune protection. In cases of reduced kidney function, the kidneys struggle to effectively filter and reabsorb proteins, leading to their presence in the urine. The UPCR is determined by dividing the amount of protein by the amount of creatinine found in the urine.

    The Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio test serves as a reliable method for monitoring kidney function. By measuring both protein and creatinine levels in one urine sample, the Urine PCR test delivers an accurate assessment of possible kidney damage.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    • Who Should Get a Urine PCR Test

    This test may be recommended by your doctor to assess high protein levels in your urine, known as proteinuria, or during pregnancy if symptoms of preeclampsia are present, a complication that involves elevated blood pressure and possible organ damage. It is also useful for diagnosing or monitoring kidney damage and chronic kidney disease, especially if there are symptoms or irregular serum creatinine levels.
