Description
Wong and colleagues compare four urine tests as warnings for kidney failure in rare kidney diseases. Each test scales protein lost in urine against creatinine, a waste product found in urine. Albumin-based and total-protein tests are used in different clinics, so teams need to know if they agree.
The study used records for more than four thousand patients with same-day paired tests. About one in six patients later reached kidney failure or died. All four measures foresaw that risk to a near equal degree. A worked-out albumin score from the protein test also fared just as well. No measure beat the rest in any disease subgroup or protein range.
