Urinary albumin creatinine ratio (ACR)- A comparative study on two different instruments
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to auto analyser. Study Design: years, that was received in the Biochemistry laboratory, M S microalbumin /urinary albumin Creatinine ratio was collected. Urinary ACR was estimated using an auto analyser, cobas 6000. 55 of these urine samples that had values for ACR in the normo albuminur estimated for urinary ACR using colorimetric kits. descriptive statistics. The intraclass correlation and Bland Altman plot was used to assess the agre results obtained from the two instruments. confidence interval of 95 % having a highly significant P value of <0.001 for urinary ACR was 87%. Urinary ACR measurement using a colorimetric kit may be a cost effective method to screen for micro albuminuria.
