Spot Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio Price in Bangladesh

What is Spot Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio?

The Spot Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio (PCR) is a test used to assess the amount of protein in urine relative to the concentration of creatinine, which helps account for variations in urine volume and concentration. It is often used to screen for kidney disease, especially in conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or glomerulonephritis.

An elevated protein-to-creatinine ratio can indicate kidney damage or dysfunction, as proteins (such as albumin) should typically be filtered out by healthy kidneys. The results are typically given in milligrams of protein per gram of creatinine (mg/g).

This ratio is a convenient method for detecting proteinuria without needing a 24-hour urine collection.

What to expect & how to prepare

Spot Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Spot Urine Protein Creatinine Ratio result rather than self-diagnosing.
