The Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio (UPCR) Test measures the ratio of protein to creatinine in a urine sample to assess kidney function. It helps detect excess protein excretion, which may indicate kidney damage or diseases like diabetes, hypertension, or glomerulonephritis. A single, random urine sample is used, making it convenient. Normal UPCR is below 0.2 mg/mg. Higher ratios suggest proteinuria, requiring further evaluation. The test is crucial for monitoring chronic kidney disease or assessing pregnancy-related conditions like preeclampsia. Regular testing aids early detection, enabling timely interventions through lifestyle changes or medication to protect kidney health.
