Results of dipstick testing according to random urinary protein to creatinine ratios (PrCr, mg/mmol). A. Visually read urinary dipstick testing according to random urine PrCr result. B. Automated urinary dipstick testing (g/L) according to random urine PrCr result. The horizontal dotted line represents a PrCr of 30mg/mmol, the current cut-off for detection of 0.3g/d proteinuria.
