RANDOM URINE PROTEIN CREATININE RATIO AS A PREADMISSION TEST IN HYPERTENSIVE PREGNANCIES WITH URINARY PROTEIN CREATININE RATIO

摘要

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 ( 3 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
