An equation to estimate 24-hour total urine protein excretion rate in patients who underwent urine protein testing
Abstract Background The urine protein-creatinine ratio (UPCR) in a spot first-morning urine sample is used to estimate 24-h urine proteinuria (24hUP) in patients who underwent urine protein testing. UPCR cannot be directly compared with 24-h proteinuria. Thus, an equation to estimate 24-h total prot...
