Objective: This study aimed to determine the correlation between total protein level in 24-hour urine sample and protein-to-creatinine ratio spot measure excretion elderly patients reliability of threshold for proteinuria. Materials Methods:A 50 patients, aged ≥65 years, wıth a urıne value ≥15 mg/dL using dipstick without risk factors transient proteinuria were included study.Daily was determined by two different methods-protein-tocreatinine sample.The these methods evaluated.Results: A strong positive found samples (r=0.879,p<0.005).The sensitivity specificity increase as increases ≥3.5 g/day. Conclusion:The is highly sensitive specific test with high agreement gold-standard method diagnosis follow-up chronic diseases.This will help clinicians decide especially when they are frail, restricted mobility, incontinence, or difficulty transferring due medical, social, economic reasons.
