Diagnostic ability of urine protein : creatinine Ratio (UPCR) for various proteinuria range.
| Proteinuria range | Cutoff values | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | PPV (%) | NPV (%) | Accuracy (%) | Positive likelihood ratio (LR+) | Negative likelihood ratio (LR−) | Odd’s ratio | Area under curve & 95% CI |
| UPCR to predict 300 mg+/day | 0.45 | 82.1 | 87.5 | 95.5 | 60.0 | 83.3 | 6.6 | 0.21 | 32 | 0.89 (0.83–0.95) | UPCR to predict 2000 mg+/day | 1.46 | 94.4 | 92.4 | 87.2 | 96.8 | 93.1 | 12.5 | 0.06 | 207 | 0.98 (0.97–100) | UPCR to predict 3000 mg+/day | 1.83 | 91.7 | 86.7 | 47.8 | 98.7 | 87.3 | 6.9 | 0.09 | 6.88 | 0.98 (0.94–100) |
