What is Protein Creatinine Ratio?

The Protein Creatinine Ratio (PCR) test is a simple urine test that checks for abnormal levels of protein in your urine compared to creatinine. High protein levels can be an early sign of kidney damage or disease.

Why is this test important?

This ratio is a key indicator for screening and monitoring kidney disease, especially in individuals with conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, which can affect kidney function. It helps track kidney health over time.

How to Prepare

No special preparation is required. You will typically provide a random urine sample.
