What is Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio

Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio (UPCR) is a test that measures the amount of protein in the urine relative to the amount of creatinine. It is used to evaluate kidney function and to diagnose and monitor kidney diseases. The test involves collecting a urine sample and measuring the levels of protein and creatinine in the sample. The UPCR result is expressed as milligrams of protein per gram of creatinine.
