Albumin / Creatine ratio- (ACR=Albumin creatine ratio) :-

 

 

Albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) is the first method of preference to detect elevated protein in urine. The recommended method to evaluate albuminuria is to measure urinary ACR in a spot urine sample. ACR is calculated by dividing albumin concentration in milligrams by creatinine concentration in grams.  

Micro albumin creatinine ratio shows albumin in urine, A ratio of albumin (mcg/L) to creatinine (mg/L) of less than 30 is normal; a ratio of 30-300 signifies microalbuminuria and values above 300 are considered as macroalbuminuria. Albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) is the first method of preference to detect elevated urinary protein
