Use our free Protein Creatinine Ratio Calculator to quickly assess kidney function. This essential tool helps you understand your urine protein levels relative to creatinine, aiding in the detection of proteinuria and monitoring kidney health. Simply enter your urine protein and creatinine values to get an instant result and interpret its clinical significance.
Formula:
The Protein Creatinine Ratio (PCR) is calculated as follows:
PCR = Urine Protein (mg/dL) ÷ (Urine Creatinine (mg/dL) ÷ 1000)
Where:
- PCR: Protein Creatinine Ratio (expressed in mg protein per gram of creatinine, mg/g)
- Urine Protein: Urine protein concentration in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
- Urine Creatinine: Urine creatinine concentration in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
