| description | This study aimed to determine the correlation between random urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio in single-voided urine samples and 24-h urinary protein excretion in pregnant women with preeclampsia. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan, from July 2019 to June 2020. Fifty women with singleton pregnancy after 20 weeks of gestation with hypertension and 2+ proteinuria or more, according to a dipstick test, were included. Those with chronic hypertension; preexisting renal disease; gestational diabetes; eclampsia; hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, a low platelet count syndrome; and coexisting urinary tract infections were excluded. Two random urine samples taken at 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and 24-h urine samples were collected to evaluate the random urinary protein-to-creatinine and the 24-h protein excretion, respectively. The correlation coefficient (r) between them was calculated using Pearson's correlation test. The patients' mean age was 28.58 ± 5.09 years and their mean gestational age was 32.74 ± 4.44 weeks. Twenty-eight (56%) women were primigravidas, and 22 (44%) were multiparous. The average serum creatinine was 0.80 ± 0.16 mg/dL. The mean random urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio was 0.93 ± 0.7 mg/mg, and the mean 24-h urine was 481.08 ± 20.10 mL. A strong positive correlation was found between the protein-to-creatinine ratio and 24-h urinary protein excretion (r = 0.655; P = 0.01). We concluded that the protein-to-creatinine ratio in spot urine samples could be used as an alternative to in 24-h collection of urine to determine protein excretion in preeclamptic pregnant women. |
