24-hour excretion (mg/24 hours)

Spot UACR (mg/g)*

< 10

10-29

>300 (males, >250; females >355)

  1. UACR, urinary albumin/creatine ratio.
  2. Correspondence among terms is inexact; therefore, threshold levels are not consistent.
  3. *For conversion of UACR expressed as mg/mmol, multiply by 0.113.
