Is it too troublesome to keep 24-hour urine protein? ACR, take a look!

       24-hour urinary protein quantification is the gold standard for evaluating the severity of urinary protein, and it is affordable and widely used in clinical practice. But as the saying goes, '; No one is perfect; 24-hour urine also has its drawbacks, it's too troublesome to keep it! Some people who cannot understand the method of urine retention are also prone to making mistakes, which can affect the results. So, in clinical practice, a test method called ACR (Urinary Microalbumin Creatinine Ratio) was developed to replace 24-hour urine, which can quantitatively analyze the severity of urinary protein and facilitate patient operation. This test only requires a one-time urine sample.What is ACR?        The ratio of microalbuminuria (mALB) to creatinine (Cr) in urine (ACR) is a sensitive indicator reflecting renal dysfunction, used to monitor the excretion of microalbuminuria. ACR has important value in the diagnosis of various kidney diseases, hypertension and diabetes with early renal injury, and has been listed as the diagnostic and staging standard of early kidney disease and chronic kidney disease by authoritative international guidelines.          ACR has good stability and is easy to collect urine samples, which can replace 24-hour urine protein measurement.ACR screening guidance         Early detection of kidney function and prevention and treatment of kidney diseases, as well as early control of kidney disease development, have become key issues in alleviating the burden of chronic diseases in China. Product IntroductionUrine Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio (ACR) Test Kit(Immunoassay/Dry Chemical Enzyme Method) The reagent kit is stored at room temperature and away from light, without the need for cold chain transportation, resulting in low storage and transportation costs.The reagent kit adopts the methodology of immunochromatography/dry chemical enzyme method for detection Recommended Guide        The Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of diabetes Nephropathy in China (2021): It is recommended that patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and T2DM with a course of more than 5 years should be screened for ACR at the time of diagnosis to detect DKD early, and at least once a year thereafter.         Chinese Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypertensive Nephropathy (2022): The KIDGO guidelines define CKD (urinary microalbumin to creatinine ratio) with an ACR>30mg/g as a necessary condition for the diagnosis of hypertensive nephropathy.         National Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of diabetes at the Grassroots Level (2022): diabetes kidney disease is usually diagnosed based on the increase of ACR and the exclusion of other chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is recommended to use random urine test ACR. Random urine ACR≥ 30mg/g indicates an increase in urinary albumin excretion. Repeat ACR examination within 3-6 months, and there will be an increase in urinary albumin excretion twice out of three times. If other factors such as infection are ruled out, albuminuria can be diagnosed. Quality is the foundation, service is the soul.
