Urine Protein and Creatinine checks how much protein and creatinine are in a single urine sample. Many labs call it a urine protein to creatinine ratio or UPCR. You can book at participating labs on LabFinder and choose a time that works for you.
This test is also called a protein to creatinine ratio or a random urine protein creatinine test. It compares the protein in your urine to creatinine, which is a waste your body makes all the time. The ratio helps show if your kidneys are leaking more protein than they should.
Common reasons: checking kidney health if you have diabetes or high blood pressure. New swelling: puffy legs, feet, or around the eyes. Follow up: past urine tests that showed protein. Pregnancy care: when a doctor is watching for kidney strain. Ask your doctor if this test fits your situation.
You will check in with your ID. The staff will give you a clean cup and simple steps for a midstream clean catch. You will wash your hands, start to urinate, then collect a small amount in the cup, and finish in the toilet. The sample goes to the lab. Plan for about 10 to 20 minutes at the site.
Normal meals: fasting is not usually needed. Avoid hard exercise: very intense workouts right before the test can raise urine protein. Clean catch: follow the wipe and midstream steps the staff gives you. Menstrual period: tell the team if you are on your period, since blood can affect results. Hydration: drink your usual water so you can give a sample. Always follow any instructions from your doctor or the center and bring prior results if you have them.
This test can help look into kidney disease, kidney concerns linked to diabetes, kidney effects from high blood pressure, swelling and fluid buildup, urinary tract or filtering problems, and kidney strain in pregnancy when a doctor is watching closely. Results must be read in context. Your doctor will review your results along with your history and symptoms before recommending any next steps.
