Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio Calculator

Calculate Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio



Formula

To calculate the Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio (PCR):

\[ PCR = \frac{P}{C} \]

What is the Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio?

The Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio (PCR) is a measure used to estimate the amount of protein excreted in the urine. It is calculated by dividing the urine protein concentration by the urine creatinine concentration. This ratio helps in diagnosing and monitoring kidney function.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ PCR = \frac{150}{50} = 3 \]

The Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio is 3.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ PCR = \frac{100}{40} = 2.5 \]

The Protein-to-Creatinine Ratio is 2.5.
