Estimation of 24-h Urine Protein Excretion Using Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio from an In-Hospital Population.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND There is little information available on quantitative description of the relationship between urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) and 24-h urine protein excretion (24-h UPE). Here, we developed a calculation tool for 24-h UPE using the urine ACR and limited information on the request form. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a retrospective and observational study. All individuals with same-day urine ACR and 24-h UPE tests in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from September 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 were enrolled. Correlation and agreement between urine ACR and 24-h UPE were evaluated using correlation analysis and an intraclass correlation coefficient, respectively. The Durbin-Watson test and ANOVA were used to assess the performance of the calculation tool, and reliability
