Abstract:
The objective of the study was to know if a spot protein/ creatinine ratio would provide an accurate quantification of proteinuria and whether it can replace the use of the 24 hours urine protein in preeclamptic women. 60 women with preeclampsia were recruited for the study. A stable renal function was ascertained by doing serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen. The patients were instructed to collect the 24 hours urine starting from the second urine sample in the morning till the first urine sample the next day morning.
