A member asked:

Will protein-creatinine ratio be calculated, if urine test only show ''traces'' of protein? or do they only do it, if it's over 300 mg/l?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: Spot urine protein to creatinine ratio must be ordered separately. Trace proteinuria can be significant in some disease conditions such as diabetes, when microalbumin to creatinine ratio should be calculated.

A member asked:

Please answer this question, in a way that is understandable. Are ''protein'' levels in urine tests measured by mg/dl, or protein-creatinine ratio?
