Reynes et al listed criteria for tubular and glomerular proteinuria based on studies performed on a spot urine. The authors are from Montpellier University in France.
Patient population: HIV-positive with eGFR >= 60 mL/min per 1.73 square meter
Specimen: spot urine
Parameters:
(1) urine protein in mg/L
(2) urine albumin in mg/L
(3) urine creatinine in g/L
urine protein to creatinine ratio in mg protein per g creatinine =
= (urine protein) / (urine creatinine)
urine albumin to creatinine ratio in mg albumin per g creatinine =
= (urine albumin) / (urine creatinine)
urine albumin to protein ratio =
= (urine albumin) / (urine protein)
Urine Protein to Creatinine Ratio |
Urine Albumin to Creatinine Ratio |

>= 200 mg/g |

>= 30 mg/g |
>= 0.4 |
glomerular |
>= 200 mg/g |

where:
• Creatinine in g/L is equal to (mg/dL) divided by 100.
