Urinary Protein Excretion Estimation

 

Input
 

Spot Urine Protein		g/dL gm/L gm/dL mcg/dL mg% mg/dL mg/mL ng/mL
Spot Urine Creat		g/dL gm/L gm/dL mcg/dL mg% mg/dL mg/mL ng/mL

 

Result
 

Protein Excreted		gm/day
Decimal Precision   0 1 2 3

 

 

Notes

• In this calculator, mcg is the abbreviation for micrograms.

 
Equations used
 

ProteinExcreted = SpotUrineProtein / SpotUrineCreat
