The Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio Test is a key diagnostic tool used to assess kidney function by measuring the amount of protein excreted in urine in relation to creatinine levels.
This test helps detect proteinuria, which may indicate kidney disease, diabetes, or other medical conditions affecting kidney health. By providing an accurate snapshot of kidney function, the Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio Test is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment planning.
This test is essential for identifying and monitoring kidney health, as excessive protein in urine often signals that the kidneys are not functioning properly. It can be a warning sign for chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, and hypertension-related kidney issues. Detecting these problems early allows for timely medical intervention, which can slow disease progression and improve health outcomes.
