The Protein Creatinine Ratio (PCR) – Urine Spot test is used to measure the amount of protein in the urine in relation to creatinine. It helps in assessing how well the kidneys are functioning and whether there is protein leakage, which is an early sign of kidney damage.Normally, very little protein is present in urine. Elevated levels may indicate conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes-related kidney damage, hypertension, or infections. This test is a convenient alternative to 24-hour urine collection, providing quick and reliable results from a single urine sample.It is commonly recommended for individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, or suspected kidney problems, and for monitoring kidney health over time.
