Abstract
Because urine dipsticks are used widely to screen urine samples, we need to know how closely dipstick protein measurements correlate with directly measured urinary protein-creatinine (UPC) ratios. Researchers analyzed 2098 urine samples that were submitted to a hospital laboratory for simultaneous dipstick urinalysis and UPC ratio. Urine specific gravity (SG) …
