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.

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