| description | Creatinine to protein ratios by urine test strip provide a simple way to rule out significant proteinuria using a random urine sample. [PMID: 18987264] This term is used to report ordinal results for the urine protein to creatinine ratio by test strip. Depending on the manufacturer, results may be reported as normal/abnormal, or normal/1+/2+, where abnormal and 1+/2+ indicate an elevated protein to creatinine ratio. | |

| component | Protein/Creatinine | |
| property | PrThr = Present or threshold: The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold. | |
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | |
