Does the Urine P:C Ratio result correlate to patient prognosis?

Several studies have indicated a strong correlation between the UPC result and patient prognosis. The higher the urine protein:creatinine ratio, the worse the prognosis. Since the IDEXX Urine P:C Ratio is fully quantitative, the veterinarian can use this test not only to diagnose renal disease, but also as a prognostic indicator. Sequential Urine P:C Ratios can be used to monitor patient response to treatment and disease progression.
