[The diagnostic significance of the protein-creatinine ratio in urine for the differentiation of feline nephropathies].
The normal U-P/C-range in cats was established with urine samples of 19 cats. The upper limiting value was fixed at 0.33 (mean +/- 2s). U-P/C is a reliable parameter for diagnosing proteinuria in the uremic cat. However, only very high U-P/C-values allow a conclusion on the type of nephropathy, whereas with moderately increased U-P/C values, do not allow any distinction between feline nephropathies.
