Random Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio as a Preadmission Test in Hypertensive Pregnancies with Urinary Protein Creatinine Ratio

Abstract:
To evaluate the value of random urinary protein creatinine ratio in prediction of 24h proteinuria in hypertensive pregnancies.
Method
Random urine samples and routine 24h urine collections were collected from hypertensive pregnant women (n=100). Reliability of random urinary protein-creatinine ratio was assessed by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve to detect significant proteinuria (300mg/day) using 24h. Urine protein as a gold standard. Forty six patients (46%) had significant proteinuria. The random protein creatinine ratio was correlated to 24h urine protein excretion (r2=0.777, P<0.001) Area under ROC curve to predict proteinuria was 0.926 (95% CI: 0.854-0.995, P<0.001). A cut off value of 0.22mg/mg for protein creatinine ratio best predicted significant proteinuria with sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of 87%, 92.6%, 90.6% and 89.3% respectively. Random urinary protein creatinine ratio is a simple inexpensive and excellent alternative to 24h urine collection. It's helpful in diagnosis of preeclampsia and can be used as a pre admission test in PIH cases.Language:
