Comparison of Urinary Protein/Creatinine Ratio as an Alternative to 24-h Proteinuria in Lupus Nephritis: TUNARI Study

Abstract

The PCR shows high sensitivity to follow-up patients with LN when compared with 24-h proteinuria. Our findings suggest that PCR is a useful parameter for the evaluating and monitoring patients in complete remission. However, in cases of partial remission, the utility of PCR is limited.
