Sumida et al reported equations for converting a urine protein to urine creatinine ratio (or urine protein dipstick to urine creatinine ratio) to a urine albumin to urine creatinine ratio for use in CKD screening and prognosis. The authors are from multiple institutions from around the world.
Parameters:
(1) urine protein to urine creatinine ratio (UPCR) in mg/g
(2) sex
(3) diabetes
