ACR Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (ACR) is:

$ACR = \frac{ALB}{CR}$

Where:

$ACR$ is the Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (mg/g)
$ALB$ is the Albumin (mg)
$CR$ is the Creatinine (g)

What is Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (ACR)?

The Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (ACR) is a test used to measure the amount of albumin (a type of protein) in the urine relative to the amount of creatinine. This ratio is used to assess kidney function. A higher ACR indicates a higher level of albumin in the urine, which can be a sign of kidney disease.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Albumin (ALB) = 30 mg
Creatinine (CR) = 1 g

Using the formula to calculate the Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (ACR):

$ACR = \frac{ALB}{CR} = \frac{30}{1} = 30 \text{ mg/g}$

The Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (ACR) is 30 mg/g.
