title: Protein concentration in urine of normal owl monkeys.
abstract: The excretion of urinary protein was evaluated in 62 owl monkeys using timed urine collections. The ratio of urine protein to urine creatinine concentrations (Up/c) was determined for each monkey. Linear regression analysis was used to calculate the correlation between that ratio and urine protein (mg/dl) and 24-hour urinary protein loss (mg/kg). The coefficient of determination for Up/c to urine protein and 24-hour urinary protein loss was significant (P less than or equal to 0.0001). Determination of the Up/c in a urine specimen was found to be an acceptable diagnostic technique for detection and quantitative estimation of proteinuria.
