Protein to Creatinine Ratio Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the protein to creatinine ratio is:

\[ PTCR = \frac{P}{C} \]

Where:

PTCR is the protein to creatinine ratio (protein:creatinine)
P is the level of protein (mg/dl)
C is the level of creatinine (mg/dl)

What is the Protein to Creatinine Ratio?

The protein to creatinine ratio is a measure used to assess kidney function by comparing the amount of protein and creatinine in the urine. It helps in diagnosing and monitoring kidney diseases.

Example Calculation

Example 1:

Protein Level (P): 150 mg/dl
Creatinine Level (C): 100 mg/dl

Step 1: Calculate the protein to creatinine ratio:

\[ PTCR = \frac{150}{100} = 1.5 \]

Example 2:

Protein Level (P): 200 mg/dl
Creatinine Level (C): 80 mg/dl

Step 1: Calculate the protein to creatinine ratio:

\[ PTCR = \frac{200}{80} = 2.5 \]
