The albumin-creatinine ratio in early morning spot urine collected on awakening (before breakfast or exercise) is considered as a valid test for albumin excretion in urine. It is simple and inexpensive; it does not require a timed 24-hour collection of urine; and, most importantly, it gives a quantitative result that correlates well with 24-hour urine values over a wide range of protein excretion.
Corrected CrCl = CrCl * 1.73 BSA Reference range in our laboratory of an uncorrected creatinine clearance for an adult male is 90-139 mL/minute, and for an adult female is 80-125 mL/minute. Many medications must be adjusted for renal impairment when the CrCl falls below 50 mL/min.
