the appearance of low but abnormal levels 

(≥ 30 mg/day or 20 μg/min) of albumin in the urine.

Measurement of Urinary Protein
Qualitative measurement
24-hour urine collection

Creatinine is excreted in proportion to muscle mass, and its
concentration remains relatively constant on a daily basis. 

Young and middle-aged men excrete 16 to 26 mg per kg per day 

Women excrete 12 to 24 mg per kg per day. 

In malnourished and elderly persons, creatinine excretion may be less.
Measurement of Urinary Protein
An alternative to the 24-hour urine specimen
determined in a random urine specimen while the person
carries on normal activity.
urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPr/Cr)
Correlation between the UPr/Cr ratio and 24-hour protein
excretion has been demonstrated in several diseases,
including diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia and rheumatic
disease.
Measurement of Urinary Protein
Recent evidence indicates that the UPr/Cr ratio is more accurate
than the 24-hour urine protein measurement.
The ratio is about the same numerically as the number of grams of
protein excreted in urine per day.
a ratio of less than 0.2 is equivalent to 0.2 g of protein per day
and is considered normal
a ratio of 3.5 is equivalent to 3.5 g of protein per day and is
considered nephrotic-range (or heavy) proteinuria.
Ruggenenti P, et al. BMJ 1998; 316: 504-9.
Measurement of Urinary Protein
A first morning sample most closely estimates 24-hour
protein excretion, although a random sample is acceptable
if a first morning void is unavailable.

We recommend a target HbA1c of ~7.0% to prevent or delay
progression of the microvascular complications of diabetes,
including DKD. (1A)

We recommend not treating to an HbA1c target of <7.0% in
patients at risk of hypoglycemia. (1B)

We suggest that target HbA1c be extended above 7.0% in
individuals with co-morbidities or limited life expectancy and risk
of hypoglycemia. (2C)

    24-hour urine collection Creatinineis excreted in proportion to muscle mass, and its concentration remains relatively constant on a daily basis. Young and middle-aged men excrete 16 to 26 mg per kg per day Women excrete 12 to 24 mg per kg per day. In malnourished and elderly persons, creatinine excretion may be less.

    An alternative tothe 24-hour urine specimen determined in a random urine specimen while the person carries on normal activity. urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPr/Cr) Correlation between the UPr/Cr ratio and 24-hour protein excretion has been demonstrated in several diseases, including diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia and rheumatic disease. Measurement of Urinary Protein
  • 19.
    Recent evidence indicatesthat the UPr/Cr ratio is more accurate than the 24-hour urine protein measurement. The ratio is about the same numerically as the number of grams of protein excreted in urine per day. a ratio of less than 0.2 is equivalent to 0.2 g of protein per day and is considered normal a ratio of 3.5 is equivalent to 3.5 g of protein per day and is considered nephrotic-range (or heavy) proteinuria.
