Early detection and effective management of kidney disease
Albumin-to-Creatinine (A:C) ratio – Early detection of kidney disease in patients with diabetes
- Microalbuminuria testing is recommended for early detection of kidney disease
- False-negative and false-positive results are avoided by using A:C ratio testing for nephropathy instead of albumin measurement alone
- Better prediction of kidney function decline with Albuminuria >300 mg/day
- Early intervention may stop or reverse the process of kidney disease
Protein to Creatinine (P:C) ratio – Managing patients with kidney disease
- Early detection and monitoring can prevent or delay chronic kidney disease
- Proteinuria measurement helps to assess the effectiveness of therapy and progression of kidney disease
- Higher P:C ratio levels are associated with an increased risk of end stage kidney disease
- Correlation between P:C ratio in random urine samples and 24-hour protein excretion
Effective detection and management
- Detect early signs of kidney disease in patients with diabetes
- Detect early signs of kidney disease in patients at high risk for kidney problems
- Monitor patients with diagnosed kidney disease
