OBJECTIVE Evaluate the value of random urinary protein-creatinine (PrCr) and calcium-creatinine (CaCr) ratios to predict 24-h proteinuria in hypertensive pregnancies. METHODS Spot urine samples were collected before routine 24-h urine collections from consecutive pregnant women with hypertension (n=83). Reliability of spot urinary PrCr and CaCr to detect significant proteinuria (>or=300 mg/day) using 24-h urine protein as 'gold-standard' was assessed by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS Fifty-one patients (61.4%) had significant proteinuria (45 pre-eclampsia, 5 superimposed pre-eclampsia, 1 renal hypertension). Area under ROC curve to predict proteinuria was 0.82 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73 to 0.92, P<0.001) for PrCr and 0.55 (95% CI 0.43 to 0.68, P=0.2) for CaCr. A cutoff value of >0.19 for PrCr best predicted significant proteinuria with sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios (positive and negative), respectively, of 80.4, 68.8, 80.4, 68.8%, 2.57 and 3.51. CONCLUSIONS Spot urinary PrCr predicts total urinary protein excretion in hypertensive pregnancies.

D011225 Pre-Eclampsia A complication of PREGNANCY, characterized by a complex of symptoms including maternal HYPERTENSION and PROTEINURIA with or without pathological EDEMA. Symptoms may range between mild and severe. Pre-eclampsia usually occurs after the 20th week of gestation, but may develop before this time in the presence of trophoblastic disease.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
