    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To determine whether random urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio correlated with the quantitation of 24-hour proteinuria in cases of preeclampsia. DESIGN: Cross-sectional descriptive study. SUBJECTS: Pregnant patients hospitalized in the obstetric ward, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital due to preeclampsia. METHOD: The random urine specimens were obtained from the eligible subjects for protein-to-creatinine ratio determination, the subjects were then instructed to collect 24-hour urine samples for protein measurement. RESULTS: Twenty-five pregnant patients completed the study. There was a strong correlation between the random urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio and the quantitation of 24-hour proteinuria (r = 0.929, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The presented data support a strong correlation between random urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio and quantitation of 24-hour proteinuria in hospitalized pregnant patients with preeclampsia.
